Alaska
With long, harsh winters and the presence of a large, well-developed oil and gas industry, Alaska ranks first in the country for both per capita energy consumption and expenditures. The state has decreased emissions 34% from 1990-2021, with emissions slowly declining from non-coal fossil fuel generation. The state has no sales or personal income tax, as oil and gas industry revenue funds most of the state government. Climate progress has primarily been led by local and tribal action.
