This is mainly a result of coal generation being replaced by naturalgas generation (and to a smaller extent renewable energy sources like wind and solar) and energy efficiency improvements, due in part to Act 129 [utility energy efficiency program].

Its a much dirtier fuel than naturalgas, let alone renewables, in terms of climate change and airpollution. But coal use plateaued and started to fall during the Bush Administration, and the rate of decline has been quite steady since 2008 regardless of who was in the White House. It was fracking.

On March 19, firefighters and DEP responded to another explosion and fire at a conventional well owned by Kriebel NaturalGas Co LLC in Manor Borough, Westmoreland County. Well drilled in 2008. Note: DEP inspected the Marian Laskowski 6 shale gas well March 6 in Hempfield Township and also found it abandoned and not plugged.
It then tread water for a few years and began a steep decline in 2008, going from half of U.S. Since around 2008, naturalgas use has been the mirror image of coal use. Gas had long been more expensive and more volatile in price than coal. electricity to about one-fifth today.
Seth Grove (R-York) introduced House Bill 2444 that contains a naturalgas industry wish list of measures they want to expand naturalgas drilling, subsidize pipeline expansion using DCNR Oil and Gas Fund revenue, automatically approve of well permits and preempting local government regulation of all facilities regulated by DEP.
“The lottery ticket for us is the recreation economy-- it’s bigger than gas, it’s bigger than a lot of other industries combined and it helps attract young people to live, work and play in Pennsylvania and helps retain and bring people back," said Acting Secretary Dunn.

Local airpollution (and global climate change) ; 4. — Ditching coal and naturalgas for solar and wind. Renewable energy sources have been booming in the US (+262 % and over 4,600% from 2008 to 2016 for wind and solar, respectively. per watt in 2008 to $3.36/watt per watt in 2008 to $3.36/watt

The shift from fossil fuels in the 100-percent RES scenario reduces the amount of toxic power plant airpollution much more than what we called a “no-new-policy,” or business-as-usual, scenario. From 2020 to 2040, solar generation in these states jumps nearly ninefold and wind generation more than sevenfold.
By Ad Crable, Chesapeake Bay Journal In 2008, former Pennsylvania Gov. million acres of state forests to the new, profitable — and controversial — use of hydraulic fracturing to access naturalgas in rock formations thousands of feet underground. With the invasion of Ukraine, the value of and demand for naturalgas has exploded.
Securities & Exchange Commission] filing where they warn investors in graphic detail about blowouts and cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of naturalgas or well fluids polluting surface and groundwater fires, pipe and cement failures, pipeline ruptures, spills, and releases of toxic gases.
Both the United States and the European Union electricity generations have 25-30% coal (historically much higher, hence its title of King), naturalgas 35%, nuclear 20-25% and renewables make up 15% on both markets. It is worth remember that overall, airpollution accounts for 7 million deaths per year (WHO).
According to the IPCC, this greenhouse gas is 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a twenty-year period (and 34 times more potent over a century). Renewable NaturalGas (RNG) is a mature technology that is becoming a key component in our much needed global energy transition and the creation of a circular economy.
Renewables contributed to electricity prices rising six times more in California than in the rest of the US since 2011, the state’s “take-off” year for rapid growth in wind and solar, a price rise that occurred despite the state’s reliance during the same years on persistently-low-priced naturalgas.
John Yudichak (I-Luzerne), who Senate Republicans appointed as Majority Chair of the Senate Community, Economic and Recreational Development Committee, called opponents of naturalgas infrastructure projects “radical environmentalists” and arguments by supporters of the RGGI carbon pollution reduction regulations covering power plants “hysteria.”
Since 2008, RGGI states successfully cut power sector emissions in half, reduced electricity prices, and outpaced the nation in economic growth, all while creating $4 billion in net economic gains, and nearly 50,000 job years of employment. efforts to wean Europe off their dependency on Russian oil and gas.
