Answer 1

Answer:

But it was not until 2007 that coal consumption peaked in the U.S. Since that time, coal use for electricity generation has decreased as natural gas and renewable energy sources have been deployed. However, through 2014 coal still accounted for more kilowatt- hours generated than any other energy source.
