The primary culprits that add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere are the coal, oil, and natural gas — the fossil fuels — we consume for energy. There are two drivers behind coal’s decline: Natural gas and renewables. Low natural gas prices have made it economically attractive to shift to natural gas for baseload power.
