Most of them are already shut down, and a whole batch more have committments to close within a few years. We’re at something like 70% either closed or committed to shutdown at this point.

I didn’t “admit” anything, I just wanted to provide context that broadly substantiates the fact that coal is in a free fall and already produced less than half of the electric energy it did at its peak in 2011. You can try to be pedantic about the count of plant closures being the one true metric, but what matters is production, which in fact is already more than halved as of over a year ago as we know. Plants make money from capacity markets even if they don’t run, which allows them to limp along a bit before actually closing entirely, so that doesn’t really tell the story. So yes, the “bulk” of coal production is already gone as of over a year ago. When you use such strong language like “that’s not even close to true” that implies the opposite is true, which it obviously isn’t. You’re welcome to add context and clarify, add sources etc, but your statement struck me as misleading and you didn’t back it up at all.
