Less carbon?

Three years ago Obama pledged a 17% reduction in carbon emissions at the Copenhagen climate conference three years ago. A new study says we are on target to meet that goal by 2020. How?

* More efficient cars, due to regulation and shopping preferences.

* Energy efficient lights and appliances.

* Shift from coal to natural gas in electrical plants along with coming tighter EPA emissions rules (which means reaching the goal is not a sure thing).
