Genscape reported that January 2013 coal-fired power generation in the US surged 8.9% This increase to 140,080 GWH resulted from higher demand for electricity, higher gas prices, and lower levels of generation from nuclear plants and renewable technologies. Coal and gas had equal power sector output levels in April of last year.
