Despite the rise in coal use, the fraction of carbon-free electricity held steady year-over-year, with wind/solar/hydro/nuclear accounting for 43 percent of all power put on the US grid. That occurred despite small drops in nuclear and hydro production.

Emergency services rushed to Bristol's St Michael's Hospital shortly before 16:30 BST on Thursday, with flames and large plumes of smoke visible across the city.

The public utility model that generates power centrally and then delivers it to consumers was invented around 200 years ago and it is now encountering formidable competition from the rising
