In 2008, 48% of America's electricity came from coal;
. . . now it's about 30%.
There are now more than 3 solar power jobs in the U.S.,
. . . for every job mining coal.
In just the first 5 months of 2016,
. . . more solar power was generated,
. . . than in the years 2006 through 2012.
In 2008, the U.S. imported about 2/3 of its oil,
. . . the U.S. imports less than 1/2 its oil.
