it's time to help china master fracking safely. by now it is clear that fracking, the process of extracting shale gas has dramatically lowered america's carbon emissions. according to the u.s. energy information administration? 2006, a fifth of our electricity came from natural gas an 50% came from coal. by 2012, natural gas had increased its share to 30% of our electricity and coal shares have dropped to 37%. the change was because of fracking. over the same period, shale gas production grew 800%. the reason the shift is important is that coal is the world's dirtiest source of energy. both in its emission of carbon dioxide and particle pollutants. thanks in large part to our reduced dependency on coal, u.s. co2 emissions hit an 18-year low in 2012. u.s. emissions fell over the last five years by more than all of europe's did. so, and this is the first hitch, environmentalists have to understand that whatever our dreams and fantasies, natural gas is in reality producing a dramatic reduction in carbon emissions. but now the second h
