However, I cannot let slide the false assumption that coal is generating the electricity that powers the Teslas. In fact, renewables have surpassed coal in electric production since 2019.

As much as Rumpie liked to promise in 2016 that he's bringing it back, coal ain't coming back. It's going by the way of Whale oil.

Even the coal museum in Kentucky is solar-powered!

The article stated for the month of April, at the end of the article it stated "According to forecasts in EIA’s latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, coal will provide more electricity generation than renewables in the United States for the remaining months of 2019. On an annual average basis, EIA expects that coal will provide more electricity generation in the United States than renewables in both 2019 and 2020, but it expects renewables to surpass nuclear next year."
