| Louisville's most comprehensive inventory of its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has been finalized. LCAN's analysis will be posted here soon. The Bad News: With most industrial combustion of coal and natural gas omitted for a lack of publicly available data, Louisville emitted 27 tons of GHGs per person in 2006! The Good News: We have LOTS of ways to cut GHGs, many of which would create green jobs and repair our economy. What Next: The climate action plan developed by the Partnership for a Green City will be released on April 22nd. See above. |
