The primary culprits that add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere are the coal, oil, and natural gas — the fossil fuels — we consume for energy. Natural gas and renewables complement each other well, because natural gas plants can be ramped up quickly to compensate for some of the intermittency of renewables like wind and solar power.
