EIA forecasts keep getting wrecked by reality on the ground. Zero coal retirements this year while gas capacity climbs tells the story the models still refuse to price in.
Coal hanging on while renewables keep promising the moon lines up with what the data's actually showing on capacity versus hype.
Real numbers on coal and gas additions say plenty about who's actually powering the grid.
EIA's capacity math keeps getting revised once the actual plant data rolls in.
Numbers like these expose how the headlines keep pushing a different story than the actual capacity data.
Sounds like the numbers are telling their own story instead of the headlines.
