Can U.S. carbon emissions keep dropping? ‘It depends on prosperity and technological development’
'U.S. has been steadily increasing its energy efficiency (or reducing its energy intensity) at least since WWII due to technical innovation – all that's required is for govt to stay the hell out of the way' -- 'Since 2007...carbon emissions have fallen 6% over past 5 years. Some of that has been due to recession...But not all. The drop has also come as cheap natural gas has shuttered coal plants. & some of decline can be attributed to various conservation measures'
