&gt; First, the share of California&#x27;s total megawatt hours of power generated by burning coal dropped from 1% in 2007 to just 0.2% in 2015.<p>&gt; Second, in a report that the agency released last week, California saw a 96% decrease in coal-fueled electric power consumption during the same time frame. That is the steepest fall by percentage of any state.<p>That reads to me like the title is correct but incomplete - coal energy production and consumption are both down significantly.
