The USA’s Losing Season
Word comes this week that carbon emissions from U.S. power plants increased by 3 percent in 2007. This was not unexpected. Hydro generation was down. Coal use was up. But the main reason for the increase, according to the Edison Electric Institute, is an increased demand for electricity. This despite energy efficiency programs in virtually every U.S. State and Territory.
In the final standings for 2007 — The Climate Change Performance Index of 2008 — the U.S. came in 55th out of the 56 nations ranked. Here’ s the final box score for team USA:
- 21.44 percent share of global emissions
- 20.47 percent share of global primary energy supplies
- 20.13 percent share of global GD
- 4.61 share of global population
- virtually non-existent national climate policy
