Demographics Energy Government Transportation

Tennessee Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| Tennessee Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint Tennessee has a per capita Carbon Score of 27. Tennessee has the 16th highest resident population. Each Tennessee resident, per population average, produces approximately 21 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Tennessee has a total Carbon output state rank of #18, and is the #18th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. The Tennessee and Cumberland river systems, originating in the Appalachian Mountains, provide Tennessee with some of the highest hydroelectric power potential in the United States. Tennessee also has minor coal reserves in the Appalachian Basin in the eastern part of the State. Tennessee ranks among the top 20 energy-consuming States in the country both in absolute terms and on a per capita basis. The industrial sector leads State energy demand.
