CO2 Scorecard analyzes coal exports
My friends at CO2 Scorecard just released a short data analysis demonstrating that coal exports from the US have more than offset carbon emissions savings from switching from coal to natural gas in the US electricity sector. This result is one important piece of evidence that an “all of the above” energy strategy is intellectually incoherent and doomed to fail. We need to stop coal exports and keep that coal in the ground, and you can’t do that if you continue to promote coal as an energy resource. In the absence of widespread carbon sequestration and storage, coal cannot be clean.
