Demographics Energy Government Transportation

Kentucky Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| Kentucky Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint Kentucky has a per capita Carbon Score of 8. Kentucky has the 25th highest resident population. Each Kentucky resident, per population average, produces approximately 35 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Kentucky has a total Carbon output state rank of #13, and is the #13th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. Kentucky has major coal deposits in the eastern Central Appalachian Basin and in the western Illinois Basin. Those basins also hold minor reserves of oil and gas. The Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers in the Ohio River Basin provide hydropower potential. Kentucky's per capita energy consumption is among the highest in the Nation, and the industrial sector leads State energy demand. The State is a leader in the energy-intensive aluminum industry.
