What happened
Institute for Progress released state-by-state energy data for Colorado. The report details carbon intensity rankings for various states, noting that Colorado ranks 16th nationally. The figures, which measure carbon dioxide released per unit of electricity generated, come from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and were compiled by U.S. Energy Data, a project of Institute for Progress.
Why it matters
The rankings reflect the historical energy resources states rely on for electricity generation. For example, the report notes that Wyoming's high carbon intensity is due to its heavy reliance on coal, which has historically been cheap to mine in the region.
