Data from UMD Center for Global Sustainability State Inventory Tool, CO2 from fossil fuel combustion, default state data, 1990 to 2023: ghgi.cgs.umd.edu
43 of 50 states hit their peak energy CO2 emissions before 2010.
Which state cut the most CO2 from energy since 1990? It's Ohio, down 61 million tons (CA is sixth).
