High European gas prices push power producers back to coal

European utilities are shifting back to coal as soaring natural-gas prices make gas-fired generation less competitive. Analysts expect coal power output to rise about 25% over the next six months, offsetting a similar decline in gas generation. The fuel-switching trend supports coal demand but worsens emissions and creates a setback for Europe’s energy-transition goals.
