Greenhouse Gases: Who's Contributing in the US?

Check out this plot provided by "Project Vulcan" at Purdue University. It shows carbon production from power generation facilities in the US. The units are in millions of tonnes of carbon per facility per year. It is interesting to see that California, with nearly 40 million people, produces less than Illinois. Remember though that Illinois has a ridiculous amount of coal that the US wants us to extract and burn (and that we have more nuclear power plants than any other state too...I think), while California gets in energy from many diverse sources - coal being the least of these.
