	Belarius says: Not, it’s emission. Wyoming just also has next to no people. Posted Wednesday May 16 2007, 08:56 PM
	scpeters says: Showing emissions per capita skews the results for lowly populated areas. It’s interesting to see the total coal emissions: Texas, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania stand out. Posted Wednesday November 07 2007, 02:36 PM see view for this comment

	Jonathan Koomey says: Is this tons of CO2 or tons of carbon? For small states with low population that generate a lot of electricity and ship it to other states, a graph like this can be misleading. If you allocated Wyoming’s exported electricity to the states that use it, the numbers would even out a bit (although Wyoming is still very carbon intensive—most of the electricity is from coal). For details, check out the Electric Power Annual from the Energy Information Administration (on the web). Posted Friday January 11 2008, 05:46 PM see view for this comment
