Right now, [39% of all electricity generation in the states is through natural gas](https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=427&t=3), and I can guarantee they won't be replacing those plants with solar/wind+battery storage anytime ... economically feasible to do so. [Since 2011, 121 coal fired plants have converted to natural gas](https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=44636), because that's the most economical and logical thing to do.
