Carbon Emissions Data At a Glance
The three tabs display sets of statistics about atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions. "Carbon Production by State" shows details about carbon dioxide emissions for the country as a whole and for each state between 1990 and 2005, the most recent year for which the Department of Energy has statistics. The interactive map shows details on emissions for 2005 by state. "Reducing Carbon Emissions" shows how specific mitigation steps might be expected to reduce projected emissions by 2030.
The line graph shows year-by-year changes in total carbon dioxide production for each state and for the nation as a whole, in millions of metric tons. Mouse over a year on the line graph to see the total for that period in millions of metric tons. The table and pie charts below show both total and per capita carbon dioxide emissions for 2005, and total emissions by user type and fuel type for the nation and for each state.

more scare tactics from the epa to send us back to the stone age. there is only 500,000 people living in wyoming.. you expect me to believe that our carbon footprint is higher than new your and california.. what a bunch of crock..
This is just a scam to gain more control in the government! AL Gore and his menions stand to gain millions if not billions from such a scam! We the American People see this and need to put a stop to the idiots touting such crap! There is no such a thing as Global Warming or Climate Change as they want you to believe! The earth goes thru different cycles and right now wew are in a cooliing stage. Also Carbon Dioxide is not poisonous. Without it our plants would not survive. And more of it they will flourish!
BULL.....It is ONLY about the Green in money,just another scam.Scare the people
Wake up America, there is NO Global Warming!!! The earth goes through cycles, and right now it is in a cooling stage. Check out the facts! You won't do it because you don't want the truth to get in the way of the billions of dollars you could make with your scam. Most of the ice in the world is in Antartica, but that ice IS NOT melting, only some portions around Canada. If Global Warming was really happening, ice would be melting all over the world. Don't be fooled by these greedy control freeks!!!!!!!!!
I thought that Dennis should know that the per-capita amount represents the individual within the population not the entire population itself. It is true that California and Wyoming have different populations but that is precisely why this study was expressed in the per-capita or per person carbon emissions.
Looks like the map closely follows that of coal deposits: http://www.mapsofworld.com/business/industries/coal-energy/usa-coal-deposits.html
Wow...you knee-jerk rightwingers all sound like the lefwing nuts who claimed Bush and the gov had something to do with 9/11. It's like listening to a rightwing Hugo Chavez.
