2019 Planned U.S. Utility-Scale Variable-Renewable & Combustion Electric Power Generation Additions & Retirements
3X more GigaWatts windpower, solar-PV and natural gas generation to be added than coal, nuclear and natural gas power generation shutdowns. See why . . .
Carbon Dioxide Emissions from U.S. Electric Utilities Declined 28% from 2005 to 2017
Non-carbon electric generating power sources reached 38% of total U.S. power supply . . .
Colorado Electric Utility Carbon Dioxide Emissions Declining
Coal CO2 combustion emissions peaked in 2006.
U.S. Transportation & Buildings Carbon Dioxide Emissions Rise in 2017
Electric power CO2 emissions steady decline continues.
Natural Gas-Fired Powerplants to Lead U.S. Power Generating Additions: March 2018 - February 2019
Windpower and solar PV in the West, natural gas-fired turbines in the East.
