With wind and even solar power increasingly competitive with coal and natural gas without subsidies, with many utilities needing to meet renewable portfolio standards, and with new EPA rules forcing coal plant retirements, the impact of lower oil prices on renewable energy in the US is expected to be insignificant.

This was mainly due to the continuing steady increase in energy use in emerging economies over the past ten years. The emissions increase in the United States in 2013 (+2.5%) was mainly due to a shift in power production from gas back to coal together with an increase in gas consumption due to a higher demand for space heating.

That means that in some cases the removal of subsidies causes a switch to more emissions-intensive coal. Developing economies which are not major oil and gas exporters would generally experience much smaller effects of removing the subsidies. The reason for this small overall effect is two-fold.
