How much CO2 does your state emit?
The U.S. Energy Information Administration just released data on carbon dioxide emissions per state in 2005. Here is an interactive map which shows how much CO2 each state emits per capita:
http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/10/emissions_interactive.html
“The 10 cleanest states based on per capita emissions—in order, the District of Columbia, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, California, Idaho, New York, Oregon, Massachusetts, and Washington—have aggressive renewable energy and/or efficiency programs.”
For those who have claimed that California has “the most pollution”, notice that it’s got the fifth-lowest per capita CO2 emissions.
How does your state stack up?
James – as usual, you could not be more wrong.
