While natural gas is used to produce 43% of all US electricity, the 2nd greatest source of electricity in the US is coal fired.

Go to the chart and move the cursor for 2022, the latest figures shown. There will be a popup box that shows the various amounts in billion kilowatt-hours.

coal: 829 B-KWH
natural gas: 1,689 B-KWH
nuclear: 772 B-KWH
renewables: 913 B-KWH
petroleum and other: 40 B-KWH

Electricity generated by renewables have exceeded coal generation since 2020.
