Electricity Access Has Small Effect on Emissions in India, Study Says

BusinessGreen: Renewable energy, not shale gas, has played the biggest role in reducing US emissions, according to new analysis from Greenpeace's Energydesk site. Many energy and political commentators have argued that a surge in US shale gas production has help replace dirty coal-fired power stations, helping the world's former largest emissions cut emissions 16 per cent since 2007. But using figures from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), Greenpeace's Energydesk team has calculated that only...
