Demographics Energy Government Transportation

Idaho Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| Idaho Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint Idaho has a per capita Carbon Score of 47. Idaho has the 39th highest resident population. Each Idaho resident, per population average, produces approximately 11 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Idaho has a total Carbon output state rank of #47, and is the #47th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. Idaho is rich in renewable energy resources but has few fossil fuel reserves. The Snake River and several smaller river basins offer Idaho some of the greatest hydroelectric power resources in the Nation. Idaho's geologically active mountain areas have substantial geothermal and wind power potential. The State economy is energy intensive, and energy-consuming industries include mining, forest products, and transportation equipment. Although Idaho's total energy consumption is low when compared with other States, the total population is also low, and, as a result, per capita energy consumption is close to the national average.
