Factoring in the forgotten role of renewables in CO2 emission trends using decomposition analysis
Renewables decreased U.S. CO2 emissions by 2.3–3.3% from 2007-13, roughly matching the 2.5–3.6% from natural gas.

Production-based energy use follows an inverse U-shape, consumption-based energy use does not.
