All told, net US GHG emissions ended 2019 slightly higher than at the end of 2016. 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. Far less progress was made in other sectors of the economy.
