How will the US Greenhouse Gas emissions in 2021 compare to 2005?

Market Rules

In the United States, in the years 2017 and 201, there was an increase in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, while in 2019 there was a decrease that zeroed out those changes and brought the country back to having 12.3% fewer emissions than it had in 2005.

In 2020, on the other hand, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an indication that at the end of the year there might be a historic drop in GHG emissions. On top of that, Joe Biden's electoral platform proposed to strongly encourage the generation of clean energy as a means to further reduce these types of emissions.

All of that considered, what will be the US level of GHG emissions in 2021? The alternative that correctly lists the percentage of reduction in GHG emissions by the USA in 2021 in comparison to its emissions in 2005 will be considered the winning outcome of this market
