“The Annual Energy Outlook (AEO), published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, projects carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector will decrease 9% from 2017 levels by 2050, with fossil fuels continuing to dominate electricity generation. Economy-wide carbon emissions are expected to decrease 2.5%, with reductions in the power sector and transportation offset by a 16% increase in carbon emissions from industrial sources.”
