Idaho
Idaho has substantial renewable energy resources that dominate in-state electricity generation, much of which is from relatively inexpensive hydropower. However, the state’s net emissions have increased 74% from 1990-2021, largely due to agricultural activity. Natural gas production has significantly increased in recent years, and aside from industry, every sector has increased emissions.
