Wyoming
Wyoming is the nation’s top coal-producing state and the second biggest net energy supplier, after Texas. While the vast majority of in-state electricity generation comes from coal, wind production has more than doubled since 2019 and accounts for around a quarter of electricity generated. The state’s emissions have changed very little from 1990-2021, increasing only 0.7%.
