Carbon emissions from land use change (mostly logging) are comparable to Brazil’s, though Brazil gets a lot more publicity. Economic growth has hovered around a healthy 5% annually, meaning that GDP doubles about every 15 years and that carbon emissions will also surge without vigorous climate action.

One way of getting a handle on the amount of harm, though, is to assume that if Bush had kept his promise, emissions during his presidency would have declined as much as they did under his successor Obama. Some of those changes, like cheaper natural gas due to greater use of fracking, helped emissions decline under Obama.

With economic growth have come carbon emissions. As of 2016, half of its total emissions are from the power sector, with 20% from industry and 15% from transportation, and. 50% coal, 26% gas, and 25% nuclear. Renewables are relatively small, at only 6%, but growing rapidly, having doubled from 2010 to 2019.

Today, 40 percent of our nation’s electricity comes from clean, carbon-free sources, including nuclear energy, hydropower, wind, and solar energy. And, thanks largely to the leadership of EEI’s member companies, carbon emissions from the U.S. Wind, solar, and energy storage can get us much of the way to a carbon-free future.

As I have spent some sleepless nights since the latest IPCC report on how Mankind has to halve its carbon emissions by 2030. As we shall see, this is already currently happening, it is the moral thing to do, the best economic choice, and the fastest and easiest way to halve our emissions. A moral imperative.
