Not to be confused with
about a thirdof all generation.The APPA report there uses "nameplate capacity", which they define as "capacity labeled as operating and restarted as well as capacity that is on standby and mothballed", which means plants sitting unused are still counted. The EIA gives actual generation:

The numbers are in the same ballpark, but not the same. Percentage-wise, solar and nuclear are quite a bit higher with EIA's numbers, while wind and natural gas are a bit lower.

I would say if it were the case we would not have clickbaity titles.
