What the source says

Although coal exports in our forecast increase compared with 2025, we forecast domestic demand for coal from the electric power sector will decline by 8% in 2026 and 6% in 2027, as natural gas and renewables generation in the Northwest and MISO regions increases.

Checked: the figure -8%is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
