The switch from coal to natural gas and renewables in the electric power sector accounts for the majority of the progress the US has made in reducing emissions over the past decade. Natural gas generation made up much of the gap last year, as it has consistently in recent years, due to extremely cheap gas prices. Coal-driven decline.
