IEA-sourced chart: the US and China landed at nearly the same fossil-fuel share of generation in 2025 (57% vs 58%) but via opposite fuels (US gas, China coal) - and the forecast has their fossil shares crossing by 2030. Useful grounding for how much gas-fired capacity the US grid still needs to add to keep up with AI power demand.
America and China drew almost the same share of their electricity from fossil fuels in 2025: about 57% and 58%. That resemblance hides opposite systems. U.S. gas supplied 40%; Chinese coal roughly 55%. By 2030, their fossil shares may cross.
