Nevada's Carbon Footprint


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

Nevada Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| Nevada Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint Nevada has a per capita Carbon Score of 22. Nevada has the 35th highest resident population. Each Nevada resident, per population average, produces approximately 22 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Nevada has a total Carbon output state rank of #38, and is the #38th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. Nevada is rich in renewable energy potential but has few fossil energy resources. Nevada leads the Nation in geothermal power potential and much of the State is suitable for wind power development. The Colorado River, which forms Nevada's southern border, is a powerful hydroelectric power resource. Nevada's population and total energy consumption are low and the State's economy is not energy intensive. Due in part to the Las Vegas tourism industry, the transportation sector is the leading energy-consuming sector in the State. EIA Release Date Information for Nevada: US Department of Energy
