Submission + - Renewable energy policies actually work (arstechnica.com)

AmiMoJo writes: For most of the industrial era, a nation's carbon emissions moved in lock step with its economy. Growth meant higher emissions. But over the past decade or so, that has changed. Even as the global economy continued to grow, carbon emissions remained flat or dropped a bit.

It would be simple to ascribe this trend o the explosion in renewable energy, but reality is rarely so simple. New research found that renewable energy use is a big factor, but so is reduced energy use overall. And for both of these factors, government policy appears to play a large role.
