On Thursday, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) released its 2019 Annual Energy Outlook (AEO), which contains projections about trends in energy from the amount of fossil fuels produced and sold, to the growth of renewable energy out to 2050.
This year, against the backdrop of recent warnings from top scientists about the urgency of climate action, the EIA’s projections do not look great. Coal, one of the most carbon-emitting sources of energy, is still projected to provide 17 percent of the United States’ electricity in 2050, and that is assuming that no carbon-capture technology has been made mandatory. Natural gas—a fossil fuel that is less carbon-emitting than coal but still a problem for climate change will increase its share of US electricity production from 34 percent to 39 percent.
