How'd you come up with that number? The US accounts for 15% of emissions and personal transportation accounts for 1/5th of US emissions. That accounts for 3%

That accounts for 3% annually.
- dangoor 9y agoPerhaps that accounts for our electricity generation being coal-based?
- cptskippy 9y agoAs of 2016 35% of our production came from Natural Gas vs 30% from Coal. So if anything we're natural gas based now. That being said, I think you're on the right path as only 35% came from renewables (15%) or nuclear (20%). So the 1% is accurate if the power generation remains static but renewables and nuclear are growth sectors. A bunch of reactors are allegedly coming online in the next decade. Wind and Solar are also growing quickly.
