This is why it’s so important that Trump wins Re election. If these fanatics get back into power we’re doomed.

So where are all those emissions coming from? For one thing, utilities are still generating roughly the same amount of electricity — even if more of it’s going to houses instead of workplaces. Electricity and heating combined account for over 40 percent of global emissions. Many people around the world rely on wood, coal, and natural gas to keep their homes warm and cook their food — and in most places, electricity isn’t so green either.

You start the most bizarre threads.
Why exactly "we" doomed?
You post something from the Entertainment section of Yahoo, but all sources agree emissions and pollution has seen a dramatic drop (even your article admits it is largest ever, and it happened only in 5 weeks), although they all have to admit it can only be temporary since things are expected to return to normal when the virus hysteria passes over.
This dude is on here all hours of the day. It is like his objective is to never sleep, socialize, or have a life but to instead post randomized far-right material from the far reaches of the internet.
"Appreciate the bluer skies and fresher air, while you can. But the emissions drop from the pandemic should be a warning, not a cause for celebration: a sign of how much farther there is to go."
A couple things we might look forward to. With oil prices at record lows, more home heating systems will be converted to oil and removed from an expensive electrical system. And with record low oil prices, more electrical power generation will be converted to oil driving prices down. And "renewable" energy crashes due to it's high (relative) cost and instability.

There is the Main Idea of this article.
Exactly. The article is just saying that people are still burning electricity to power their houses when we stay at home. And more of this should come from green energy.
This guy's posts on here are always right wing propaganda and should belong in the trash bin.

You think people are going to convert to oil just because there is a dip in oil prices? Its a major investment, and probably a foolish one considering the price of heating oil is going to go back up. The price of heating oil is about the same as in 2015. Why didn't they convert then?
Depending on your perspective, Finn, that was kind of the point: That with the "biggest drop" on record - meaning, most folks aren't driving right now, that's about it, with some companies shut down, so less electrical demand - with all that going on - the "biggest drop" is - hm...eh, it ain't that big. 5%. That's it.
That's what they're saying: If you did the most drastic thing you can do - stop the citizenry from moving about, practically world wide - you'd change the pollution by...5%.
