Grid realities: Power emissions are up
U.S. power sector CO₂ emissions rose 4% in 2025 based on the latest findings from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). This increase was driven by a 3% increase in net electric power generation, including a substantial 13% increase in coal-fired generation. More importantly, this increase points to a growing challenge facing the U.S. power […]
