If they produced 13% more energy from coal in 2025 than 2024, the latest point at which we have real numbers rather than projections, it's fair to say that production of energy from coal is increasing rather than decreasing.

as the references point out (please re-read this chain), it increased but is not increasing. the context of what your replying to:

> The US is in an excellent position to massively harness wind and solar and yet right now it's dialing up the coal usage

they are not "dialing it up", they instead have planned reduction.

As I pointed out (please re-read my comment), it was increasing as of the most recent time for which we have data (not projections) available.
