65%. While the share of the electricity generated by coal is declining, it remains the dominant source of electricity generation in the United States. This is because there remains significant coal generating infrastructure, and in comparison to many alternative sources, coal is relatively inexpensive. Additionally, modern technology allows coal fired power plants to mitigate some of the most acute problems with burning burning coal.
