Shift from coal to natural gas sees CO2 drop in U.S. as global levels peak
=Smidge=
Step by step, things appear to be improving! Now we just need to replace the natural gas with something... :roll:CO2 emissions in the United States in 2011 fell by 92 Mt, or 1.7%, primarily due to ongoing switching from coal to natural gas in power generation and an exceptionally mild winter, which reduced the demand for space heating. US emissions have now fallen by 430 Mt (7.7%) since 2006, the largest reduction of all countries or regions.
