In the US, even the power plants that run on fossil fuels tend to run on natural gas, which produces roughly half the CO2 of a coal fired plant.

True and we have a lot of natural gas and in a pinch we can run our vehicles off coal if needed even if not ideal. The flexibility of the power source due to decoupling seems so often overlooked especially when thinking about energy independence and protecting national interest.
