The document shows net electricity generation in the US by energy source from 2006 to mid-2016. It finds that natural gas and other sources like wind and solar have significantly increased as coal consumption rapidly declines. It predicts that coal will drop to less than 25% of total electricity within 10 years, while some states increase renewables more than others and some rely mainly on natural gas.

Data is from EIA Electrical Power Monthly - August 2016, Table 1.2.A.
Other Gas includes blast furnace gas and other manufactured and waste gases derived from fossil fuels. Prior to 2011, Other Gas included propane and synthesis gases.
Other Renewable Sources include wood, black liquor, other wood waste, biogenic municipal solid waste, landfill gas, sludge waste, agriculture byproducts, other biomass,
geothermal, solar thermal, photovoltaic energy, and wind.
Other includes non-biogenic municipal solid waste, batteries, hydrogen, purchased steam, sulfur, tire-derived fuel, and other miscellaneous energy sources.
Beginning with 2001 data, non-biogenic municipal solid waste and tire-derived fuels are reclassified as non-renewable energy sources and included in Other. Biogenic
municipal solid waste is included in Other Renewable Sources.
Total is total generation at utility scale facililities minus hydroelectric pumped storage.

2. Net Generation by Energy Source: Total (All Sectors), 2006-June 2016 (Thousands of Megawatts)
NATURAL GAS AND OTHER SOURCE CONSUMPTION (MAINLY WIND AND SOLAR) WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AS COAL CONSUMPTION DECLINES RAPIDLY.
EXPECT COAL AS THE SOURCE FOR ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION TO DECREASE TO LESS THAN 25% OF TOTAL WITHIN 10 YEARS.
SOME STATES WILL INCREASE RENEWABLES CONSUMPTION MORE THAN OTHERS. SOME STATES WILL RELY MAINLY ON NATURAL GAS TO THE BITTER END.
