It’s true. Perhaps.
According to the Energy Information Administration, Carbon Dioxide emissions decreased by 1.3 percent in 2006, even as GDP grew by 3.3 percent.
But there is another press release. Imagine the implications: world energy use is expected to grow by 57 percent between 2004 and 2030. Check out the line graph marked as “Figure 2″ in that release. Apparently, humans have made more use of renewable energy than nuclear energy for quite some time.
Even so, break out your global warming blankets. Coal’s share of the world energy market is expected to grow faster than any other source of energy between now and 2030.
