Pennsylvania Electricity Industry Summary Statistics (2005)
Demographics Energy Government Transportation

Pennsylvania Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| Pennsylvania Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint Pennsylvania has a per capita Carbon Score of 23. Pennsylvania has the 6th highest resident population. Each Pennsylvania resident, per population average, produces approximately 22 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Pennsylvania has a total Carbon output state rank of #3, and is the #3rd highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. Pennsylvania is rich in fossil fuels; the Appalachian Basin, which covers most of the State, holds substantial reserves of coal, as well as minor reserves of crude oil and natural gas. Renewable energy resources are also abundant; the Susquehanna River and several smaller river basins offer considerable hydropower resources, and the Appalachian and Allegheny mountain ranges are areas of high wind power potential. High wind power potential also exists both onshore and offshore along Pennsylvania's short Lake Erie shoreline. The industrial sector is Pennsylvania's leading energy-consuming sector, due in part to energy-intensive industries including aluminum, chemical manufacturing, forest products, glass making, petroleum refining, and steel.
