Just how does New Jersey stack up against other states when it comes to global-warming carbon emissions? The U.S. Energy Information Administration has the Garden State's number.

  • New Jersey ranks 16th when it comes to total amount of carbon dioxide emissions.
  • Per capita, New Jersey ranks 40th.
  • New Jersey ranks 47th in emissions per capita from electric power generation.
  • New Jersey's carbon dioxide emissions have increased 8.57 percent from 1990 to 2003.
  • About half of New Jersey's total carbon dioxide emissions come from transportation.

so... what does this mean? Jersey ain't as bad as everyone says? who was the leader in pollution? who was the best? Alaska?

I would like to see the numbers for California. Always bashing us east coasters for not having the green fads down.

JMC: Sorry, Cali came in second.

Nothing really surprising here, but it is interesting when I think back to the time I spent at Ft. Dix, in a very green, very natural part of the state. Jersey get's a bad rap sometimes, but there are parts of the state that are notable greener than others.
