Again, check your sources better.

EIA predicted an increase in overall energy...

Yet, ignoring their coal-specific forecast:

EIA predicting flat demand for coal-

https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=35572

EIA projects U.S. coal disposition—domestic demand and coal exports—to remain relatively flat through 2050 in the Annual Energy Outlook 2018 (AEO2018) Reference case, even as many coal-fired power plants are retired. Coal disposition for the next three decades averages 750 million short tons per year (MMst), down from the peak of nearly 1.2 billion tons in 2008.

So, the EIA predicts increased energy demand, but no benefir for US coal. You need to look at the one if you are going to cite the other.
