US Emissions Fall Due to Fracking

Hug a fracker today.

U.S. Carbon Dioxide Emissions Fall 3 Percent: Global emissions flat for 3rd year in a row despite strong economic growth.

“The IEA attributes the relatively steep drop in U.S. emissions largely to the ongoing switch by electric generating companies from coal to cheap natural gas produced using fracking from shale deposits.”

And that is essentially correct. And over the next twenty years, as wind and solar replace natural gas, the emissions will fall even further.
