«When it
comes to life cycle greenhouse gas emissions, wind and solar energy provide a much better greenhouse gas balance than fossil - based low carbon technologies, because they do not require additional energy for the
production and transport of fuels, and the technologies themselves can be produced to a large extend with decarbonized
electricity,» states Edgar Hertwich, an industrial ecologist from Yale University who co-authored the study.

In 2016, emissions from
electricity produced within California decreased by 19 percent, but two - thirds of that decline
came from increased
production from the state's hydro - electric dams, due to it being a rainier year, and thus had nothing to do with the state's energy policies, while approximately a third of the decline
came from increased solar and wind.
