Indiana

Indiana has reduced emissions by 18% from 1990 to 2021, with major emissions reductions from the electricity and industrial sectors. However, it still ranks 8th in the country for total emissions and 11th for energy use per capita, partly due to energy-intensive industries, including the manufacturing of 90% of all recreational vehicles sold in the nation. As both a top coal producer and consumer, the overwhelming majority of in-state electricity generation comes from natural gas and coal, supplemented further by coal imported from West Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, and Wyoming.
