While there is a vast body of literature on environmental sustainability, the disaggregated impact major non-renewable energy (NRE) consumption sustainability United States (U.S.) understudied, particularly in terms using load capacity factor (LCF) perspective. In this study, above research gap addressed dynamic autoregressive distributed lag (DYNARDL) model to analyze heterogeneous NRE U.S. from 1961 2022. Given U.S.’s heavy reliance sources, analysis provides an in-depth examination long-term effects environment. Based DYNARDL model, it found that increase one unit coal, natural gas, and petroleum reduces by 0.007, 0.006, 0.008 units short run 0.004, 0.005 long run, respectively. However, nuclear would decrease 0.007 run. The kernel-based regularized system (KRLS) result shows coal bears negative significant causal link with but no relationship gas. suggests expansion use gradually reducing utilization coal- petroleum-based forms energy, then improve quality U.S., while considering social economic implications efforts aimed at shifting away fossil fuels.
