How can it be a minor thing?

Economic activity = energy use.
That’s just a basic fact.

from the article : “the U.S. has observed substantial reductions in CO2 emissions over the LAST FIVE YEARS”

Coincidence? I think not.

Plus, the author does not seem to factor in the oil/coal energy used to extract natural gas from shale plus transportation costs.
