    Now if we could put in perspective the per capita CO2 emissions of USA, combined with the pollution generating guzzlers everyone likes to own, like F-350s and other mini trucks, that would tell us the real tale of environmental “wins”.

      Per Capita equivalent CO2 emissions is quite high, but measurably on the decline as a result of more efficiency (mentioned in the article)

        Per capita CO2 is 4x that of China, and on top of it, USA is not particularly highly responsible for reforestation in the world, unlike Asian countries. Its just something I wanted to bring up because its not meaningful to have some progress with emissions of electric grids, if the CEO country of capitalism shits out too much CO2, pollutes the world, does not care much about reforestation and has probably half the population that thinks global warming is a myth.
