Demographics Energy Government Transportation

Mississippi Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| Mississippi Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint Mississippi has a per capita Carbon Score of 21. Mississippi has the 31st highest resident population. Each Mississippi resident, per population average, produces approximately 22 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Mississippi has a total Carbon output state rank of #34, and is the #34th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. Although Mississippi is not as rich in energy as neighboring Louisiana, the State has substantial energy resources. Oil and gas fields are found primarily in the southern half of the State. However, in recent years, new deposits have been discovered in the Black Warrior Basin in the north, and onshore and offshore along the Gulf Coast. Geologists believe that further exploration of those areas could reveal important new oil and gas reserves. Although Mississippi's economy traditionally relied on agriculture, manufacturing has now become the State's largest industry. The industrial and transportation sectors dominate State energy use and per capita energy consumption is high. EIA Release Date Information for Mississippi: US Department of Energy

Information such as unique identification, position, course, and speed can be displayed on a screen or an ECDIS. AIS is intended to assist the vessel"s watchstanding officers and allow maritime authorities to track and monitor vessel movements, and integrates a standardized VHF transceiver system such as a LORAN-C or Global Positioning System receiver, with other electronic navigation sensors, such as a gyrocompass or rate of turn indicator.

Website content will be continually updated, and visitors should check back often for new and revised information. The spill involves a deepwater drilling platform approximately 50 miles southeast of Venice, La. An explosion and subsequent fire damaged the rig, which capsized and sank on April 22, 2010, after burning for hours. It is unclear how much of the estimated 700,000 gallons (approximately 16,700 barrels) of #2 fuel onboard burned before it sank. The rig is owned by Transocean and is under contract to British Petroleum (BP). To report oiled wildlife, please call 1-866-557-1401 and leave a message. Messages will be checked hourly. To discuss spill-related damage, please call 1-800-440-0858. To report oiled shoreline or to request volunteer information, please call 1-866-448-5816.
