predicts that coal will decrease from a 24% share of US electric generation in 2020 to a 13% share in 2050.  This is while the total annual US electric generation is predicted to rise from about 4000 billion kWh in 2020 to about 5400 billion kWh in 2050.  Growth in renewable energy sources are predicted to make up for the decline in coal-based electric generation. Using the figure of 1000 kg/MWh of CO2 , what is the expected reduction in annual CO2 emissions due to this decline in the coal-based generation?
