From the page: "Undoubtedly you've heard someone cite the statistic that the United States gets half its electricity from coal. It's been repeated so many times that it often goes unexamined. Which is a shame because when you look at how individual states get their electricity the nation really shows a great range of coal usage. I wouldn't go so far as to say that the national statistic is inaccurate, but it certainly blurs the details of our national energy usage to the degree that I'd categorize it as an eco-myth:" - Shea Gunther
