Emissions Have Nothing To Do With Economics!
There was no citation for the claim about fossil fuel burning, referring instead to graphs from Statista about the increased share of renewables in the USA energy mix. So I went to have a look at the USA government’s data on their gross and net emissions over the past few decades. And, yes, while the share of renewable-generated electricity has increased over the past decade and while gross emissions have decreased by 3% since 1990, renewables have not led to that decrease.
