Electricity generation from variable renewable electricity sources (VRE) such as wind and solar power has grown rapidly and is expected to continue to do so. This is necessary because power generation from renewable energies depends on availability of sun and wind and can therefore only be controlled to a limited extent.

In 2015, the difference in emissions between the transportation and industrial sectors widened as transportation sector CO 2 emissions increased while industrial sector CO 2 emissions declined. These emissions were highest in 2007, prior to the recession, and have not returned to those levels, although they have increased since 2012.
