Mainstream Media: Carbon and Data Show

mainstream media: One line in the story in particular should have done the trick The shift in the United States to building more natural gas power plants has led to the reduction of more than 2.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions since 2005, making it the largest source of energy-related carbon savings, recent data from the Energy Information Administration show, according to The Independent. That fact alone was worth a multitude of headlines from the mainstream media. It should have made headlines everywhere around the world, drawing the attention of anyone concerned about carbon emissions and climate change. But there was even more earth shaking and earth changing news in the report. But EIA's new data show natural gas has widened the gap with renewables since 2017 in the reduction of carbon emissions in electricity generation, underscoring its ability to provide consumers reliable low-cost, clean energy, and its vital role in sustainability. Many expected renewables would overtake natural gas as the largest source of emissions savings in 2018, as non-carbon electricity generation has risen by 35 percent since 2005, the report stated.
