The Sierra Club Needs To Send a Thank-You Note To The Fracking Industry

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?
