The natural gas share of electricity generation has grown as the coal share declined, partially offsetting the decline in energy-related CO 2 emissions from coal. These emissions were highest in 2007, prior to the recession, and have not returned to those levels, despite increasing every year since 2012. from the 2015 level.
