Air quality and greenhouse gas emissions have improved to 30-year lows. This is due to the increased use of natural gas and industry investment. 

There is no doubt about it, the air we are breathing is cleaner than it has been in nearly thirty years. This is not because of government forced regulation or from the onslaught of environmentalists’ pressures, but rather, it is largely in thanks to natural gas.

The United States has been a leader in reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality for some time now – without relying upon the Climate Accord. Why would we want to sign on to a trillion dollar per year agreement that will accomplish little, when we have already established the benchmarks? Our carbon emissions from power are at 30-year lows and more than 60% of that drop is directly tied to natural gas. Since 1990, our natural gas production is up 51% and methane is down 16% during that same timeframe.
