The 2015 Energy Information Agency Outlook is here

The new EIA outlook is found here

It has a ton of interesting graphs and tables, for example, here´s their forecast of the contribution of each energy type:

Figure 1. EIA Predicts renewables will deliver a puny 
11 % of total USA energy consumption in 2040. 

Here´s the electricity generation breakdown, it shows a really grim outlook for CO2 emissions: 

Figure 2. EIA Predicts electricity generation 
will be powered  mostly by fossil fuels in 2040

And here´s their CO2 emissions forecast. 

Figure 3. EIA CO2 emissions forecast for the USA. 

This data appears a bit optimistic to me, because it assumes gas, oil and coal  production will increase in spite of The Guardian´s divestment campaign. Or maybe they think the US will vote nonstop Republicans for the next 25 years (ack).
