Although America acclaims there is a positive transition
towards natural gas, this year’s winter, the coldest in 30 years, has made
Americans divert back to coal. This is primarily because the cold winter had
made natural gas prices its highest level in four years, and coal's prices were more economically feasible. The sudden increase in
cheap coal has led to US carbon emissions that are projected to rise after
successfully decreasing emissions in both 2011 and 2012. While we continue to
struggle to find ways to balance improving our environment without putting a
toll on our economy, we look toward a better future of attaining a renewable
resource world.
