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

Washington Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| Washington Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint Washington has a per capita Carbon Score of 43. Washington has the 15th highest resident population. Each Washington resident, per population average, produces approximately 13 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Washington has a total Carbon output state rank of #30, and is the #30th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. Washington has few fossil fuel resources but has tremendous renewable power potential. The Columbia and Snake Rivers are immense hydroelectric power resources. The State's western forests offer fuel wood resources, and large areas of the State are conducive to wind and geothermal power development. Washington's population and total energy consumption are relatively high. Transportation is the leading energy-consuming sector in the State, followed by the industrial and residential sectors. Washington is a leader in the energy-intensive forest products industry and is the site of several large U.S. military bases. EIA Release Date Information for Washington: US Department of Energy
