The dirty big secret about U.S. energy production is that coal is about to play an even larger role. Already more than 50 percent of U.S. electricity comes from plants burning coal, the fossil fuel that emits the greatest amount of the most common greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. Coal's share in the power picture is projected to spike upward in coming years as utilities turn to coal as an alternative to increasingly scarce natural gas.
