Something to celebrate this Earth Day: carbon dioxide emissions in the United States are at their lowest level in twenty years, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) credits shale development and fracking technologies with this positive development.
“[The] rapid deployment of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling technologies, which has increased and diversified the gas supply… is an important reason for a reduction of GHG emissions in the United States,” the IPCC said in a report.
“The decline in energy-related CO2 emissions in the United States in recent years has been one of the bright spots in the global picture,” the International Energy Agency says in a report. “One of the key reasons has been the increased availability of natural gas, linked to the shale gas revolution.”
