For those who care
, Oil & Gas Journal is reporting:
US energy-related carbon dioxide emissions reached 5.3 billion tonnes
in 2012—the nation’s lowest level since 1994, the US Energy Information
Administration reported. Emissions have declined consecutively since
2007, with the exception of 2010.
The drop in CO2 emissions in 2012 was primarily
attributable to the shift of electric power generation to natural gas
from coal. During 2012, particularly in the spring and early summer, low
natural gas prices led to competition between gas-fired and coal-fired
electric power generators.
I wonder if the Sierra Club will send a thank-you note to the fracking industry?
