US Emissions Rise Despite Economic Slowdown
|
7.3
Rhodium Group reports US greenhouse gas emissions rose 2.4% in 2025 after two years of declines, driven mainly by a colder winter and higher electricity demand from data centers. The firm says the increase does not yet reflect 2025 policy changes and tax-credit rollbacks under the Trump administration, which cut its projected 2035 emissions reductions from 38–56% to 26–35% versus 2005.
Scoring Rationale
Rhodium's authoritative national report and clear policy impacts drive high relevance, though findings mainly update projections rather than reveal novel mechanisms.
