Renewable Energy, Coal as a Baseload Power Source, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Evidence from U.S. State-Level Data by Squalli, Jay

“…Since the use of renewable energy sources does not release GHG emissions, this effect can be interpreted as stabilizing if renewable energy is added to coal use or as corrective if it replaces coal. After accounting for the role of coal as a baseload power source, an increase in the share of renewable energy is estimated to mitigate N2O emissions at the U.S. state level only if states individually decrease their share of coal use to levels below 41.47%. …”
