Use of renewable fuels and natural gas for electric power generation rises. The natural gas share of electric power generation increases from 24% in 2010 to 27% in 2035, and the renewables share grows from 10% to 16% over the same period. Total US energy-related CO 2 emissions remain below their 2005 level through 2035.
