But there isn't any win. The US is switching from coal - which emissions are known and reported - to fracked natural gas, where the emissions from directly burning the gas are better but the overall emissions from producing it are much worse. It's just that the fracking process has no tracking of emissions. All that has happened is that emissions have shifted from reported to not reported. There's no climate win here.
I remember when my sports team finally turned things around and instead of losing by double-digit score differentials we were losing by single-digit score differentials. These were celebrated like wins, but yes it was still losing.
