"The Only Place In America Where Coal Demand Has Risen Is Nebraska"

"Looking for a rare bright spot in U.S. coal?

Consider Nebraska, the only state producing more electricity from the fossil fuel than it did a decade ago, according to a Bloomberg analysis of U.S. government data.

While America’s slashed its coal-fired electricity generation by more than a third between 2006 and 2016 -- creating havoc for the coal sector, which once dominated the country’s utility space -- Nebraska raised its coal-fired power output by 6 percent, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration."

Tim Loh reports for Bloomberg May 30, 2017.
