In the absence of emission controls, these new plants will increase worldwide annual emissions of carbon dioxide by approximately 7.6 billion metric tons by 2030. These emissions would equal roughly 50 percent of all fossil fuel emissions over the past 250 years.</p> <p>Read the new Center for American Progress report at <a href="http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2007/05/coal_report.html">www.americanprogress.org</a> </p> </div> <a href="/blog/4168-global-warming-the-future-of-coal-making-clean-energy">Watch the video</a>
