A report recently released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration concludes that carbon emissions from fossil fuels in the United States are expected to increase, highlighting the urgency for passing federal comprehensive climate and clean energy legislation this year that will limit and lower carbon pollution and put America on a path toward a clean energy economy. An excerpt from the report:
"Estimated U.S. carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, which declined by 7.0 percent in 2009, are expected to increase by 3.2 percent and 1.6 percent in 2010 and 2011, respectively, as economic growth spurs higher energy consumption."
