Could be. But we have the mostest because we aren't limited to using it like you Australians who can't build shit for yourselves in terms of other power generation sources.
Good God, you can't build a car, how can anyone expect a people closer in intellect to a common chimpanzee to throw up some nuke power plants?
Go back to your bananas Lucky.
And it is criminal that someone is so embarassed by their children they can't say a single good thing about them. Unless of course they came out just like you, and then the avoidance is understandable.

Coal’s Persistence Signals The Myth Of The Energy Transition
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he supposed energy transition from fossil fuels to a suite of government-supported alternatives like wind and solar has always seemed more of a marketing campaign than reality. It’s a transition that we are asked to believe has been ongoing since at least 2015 and the signing of the Paris Climate Accords, yet the percentage of primary energy supplied by oil, natural gas, and coal continues to hover right at the 80% level despite all the trillions of dollars in government subsidies thrown at the problem.

America, a nation owned by the English banks and the Chinese corporations moves away from coal and gives the Chinese untold billions in profits for the Windmills and solar panels they make. Meanwhile...
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '.')..there is a Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air report showing that construction of new coal-fired power plants in China reached a 10-year high in 2024... The same is true in India, where a new report by Ember finds that, despite that country’s 5.5% cut in coal imports during the first 11 months of 2024, its year-over-year overall coal usage rose by 5.1% thanks to increased domestic mining, the fourth straight year of expanded coal use in the world’s most populous nation
Everyone else (everyone who is Free) is digging up and burning coal, but America, which is not a free nation governed by the will of it's people is forced to build out unreliable and expensive alternate energy. The American citizen has been gulled by their politicians and TV sets into believing a Lie! What consumes Vast amounts of electricity? Bitcon, and server farms that are there simply to accumulate data and turn people into numbers. Where is most of the coin mining done, where are the server farms springing up? In the Slave colony of the US of course. Same with fracking, a pointless exercise financially but the increase in light oil (Gasoline) exports benefits the rest of the world even as Americans rushed to buy overpriced rechargeable battery cars (another Lie).
That's how late stage capitalism works. You hollow out your industrial economy and replace it with a service economy, then when that doesn't supply enough to repay your debts you add a financial layer economy that generates profit by shuffling money around. And any new "scheme" is an opportunity to create and shuffle money around. BTW, there is nothing after that except bankruptcy folks. Trump has made a lot of election promises but few will be fulfilled. Electricity costs over there are just going up and up as the bill comes due for all the rebuildable power plants and the massive debts associated with them. Wall street and the banks are already away with their profits, now all that's left is the bill. Dumped in the taxpayers lap. America is like the Beta tester for every crackpot scheme on the planet
Freedom? How can you be free when the Chinese make all you power systems? All your transformers and copper cabling?
We're 17 years past the peak now and the 3rd World is going hungry and dark. We'll be next, we're well on the way in fact.

America has plenty of electricity. So why is your bill skyrocketing? https://www.fastcompany.com/91427779/am ... tric-bills
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')mericans know AI runs on electricity — and they’re starting to realize they’re the ones paying for it.

That's only part of the story of course.
Why US Power Bills Are Surging https://www.wired.com/story/power-bills ... her-still/
Blah Blah Blah. The question that really should be asked is
Why is the rest of the world paying so little for electricity?
Germany: Big wind and solar buildout. Super high prices, destroyed economy.
England: Big wind and solar buildout. Super high prices, destroyed economy.
Spain: Big wind and solar buildout. Super high prices, destroyed economy.
Australia, turns back on wind and solar, booming economy.

A click bait title, 1.3% is nothing. If anyone is struggling in Australia it's the poor saps living in SA where the techno buildout dreamers closed all their coal plants. More fool them.
