Going green

Since 2000 the US has doubled its natural gas production and reduce methane emissions by 16%. All the new wells are designed to minimize any leaks. While CO2 emissions have increase by 65% world wide, the US has held constant even though the population increased by 85 million people. Most of this reduction can be attributed to changing coal fired power plants over to natural gas. Further reductions are possible by going to natural gas for transportation.
