It’s second only to China, which produced almost twice more (10.06 GT). The majority of the US’ carbon footprint comes from energy-related activities. About 75% of CO2 emissions arise from burning fossil fuels for energy. By contrast, solar energy emits far less CO2 than fossil fuel-based energy. This makes it cleaner and greener, which is why it’s also healthier for all living things. On that note, we…
