    I wonder why? Renewables are at an all time high, and people are starting to buy electric cars and lawn equipment. Where’s the extra demand coming from? Is it related to cars getting bigger and bigger?

      @reddig33 @101 The US continues to reduce its use of coal as an energy source, plus exports of LNG to Europe increased significantly as they reduced their own consumption of Russian oil.
