Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that burning coal for electricity produces more carbon dioxide per kilowatt-hour than burning natural gas?

Yes. One peer-reviewed source states directly that natural gas's lower carbon-to-hydrogen ratio and higher combined-cycle efficiency result in less CO2 emitted per unit of electricity than other fossil fuels such as coal. Several other sources describe coal-fired electricity as a major CO2 source or call natural gas cleaner, but without a direct per-kWh comparison.
