I'll note that overall US greenhouse gas emissions are not at a peak; that was some years ago, with much of the drop coming from reduced coal burning

I'm guessing this is related to breakdowns in trade between the US and OPEC.

More that fracking made a whole lot of otherwise un-extractable oil economic to extract. The bulk of this is happening on private land.

Lol oops, I wonder how much the wells I was involved with added to that.

My wife and I finally bought a house though, so at least there's that.
