U.S. Emissions Jumped in 2025 as Coal Power Rebounded
NegativeScience

- U.S. emissions increased in 2025 after two years of decline, primarily driven by a surge in electricity demand linked to the growth of data centers, domestic manufacturing, and the rise of electric vehicles. This rebound in emissions coincided with a resurgence in coal power, particularly highlighted by a coal-fired power plant near Emmett, Kansas.
- This development raises concerns about the implications for climate change efforts, as increased reliance on coal power could hinder progress towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving sustainability goals in the energy sector.
