I think it's noteworthy that the last two dips in US emissions were caused by the Great Depression and the 1970s Oil Crisis. What we're seeing now is the first substantial drop in emissions *without a fuel shortage* in US history.

Per-capita CO2 emissions in the US have dropped by nearly 30% since the year 2000. We are trending rapidly in the right direction, though we still have a long way to go. Roll up your sleeves if you're able - we can really do this! 🧪
