Yes, power companies in the US are using less coal and more natural gas. Yes, it means less CO2 is being produced to generate the electricity. No, it is not reducing the CO2 levels in the atmosphere, that will still be increasing along with the price you pay for electricity.

Why? Because China, India, Vietnam, and most developing countries are rapidly increasing their use of coal. The changes we are making will be insignificant with the exception of how it will affect our economy. Expect US industries to take another big hit as the price of production goes up relative to the rest of the world.
