摘要

US levels of carbon dioxide (C02) emissions are plummeting as cheap, cleaner-burning natural gas is encroaching on coal for electric generation thanks to competitive pricing and new US Environmental Protection Agency regulations. Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel, with C02 emissions from natural gas about half that of coal. Natural gas also recently hit an important milestone by pulling neck and neck with coal generation.
