The California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced that greenhouse gas emissions in California in 2016 fell below 1990 levels for the first time since emissions peaked in 2004—a reduction roughly equivalent to taking 12 million cars off the road or saving 6 billion gallons of gasoline a year.

over the prior year, according to the EPA’s newly published Inventory of US Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990–2013. By sector, power plants were the largest source of emissions, accounting for 31% of total US greenhouse gas pollution. billion gallons in 2001 to 1.4 Climate Change Emissions' MMT CO 2 Eq.)
