| Green County Power Plant used to be coal-fired. It now uses Natural Gas & Oil. |

| AlaPowCo's Green County Power Plant |
"In 2001, coal fueled more than half of the electricity produced in Alabama, but several of the state’s aging coal plants have since closed or transitioned to burning cheaper natural gas. In 2019, natural gas was the top electricity source in the state, followed by nuclear power. Coal came in third place, providing less than one-fifth of the state’s power generation.
Alabama generates more electricity than it consumes and typically sends about one-third of its output to nearby states.
(Only 8% of Alabama's energy comes from Hydro...lower than I would have thought.)
