That might seem to be a bold statement, but that is real truth of the matter, and these statistics bear that out. It could be an aberration for the statistics for one Month, but to cover that contingency, I have purposely taken the statistics for a whole 12 month period.
This is not just a small percentage increase in those CO2 emissions, but an increase far above the overall percentage increase in total power consumption across the whole of the U.S. While overall total power consumption for the year increased by 4.3%, CO2 emissions increased by 6.7%. When expressed as a percentage that figure ‘seems’ relatively small, but when expressed as a number it is in fact quite large.
That number is 201 Million tons, and read that again, because it’s not a misprint, and it’s not the overall total emissions, but just the INCREASE.
