Who is "we"? The US has reduced emissions records while increasing energy output for a number of years now.

Europe has increased both, regardless of their rhetoric. China of course has increased both as well with more coal plants being built.

Most of the reduction in the US is thanks to fracking/nat.gas displacing coal. Which a lot of people are against.

Focusing on nuclear could get us a lot farther in displacing fossil fuels with nuclear as the baseline energy source.

Unfortunately most people just want to nag each other or cat-o’-nine-tails themselves or yell doomsday on loop instead of pushing for things that actually matter.

That does not include energy outsourced.

Nor do your US figures. Not least because you failed to present any.

But include them if you can. The graphs look the same.
