Interesting. Bet you didn't know that Texas uses more energy than any other U.S. state. On a per capita basis, Texans use over twice as much energy as Californians (464 vs. 227 million BTUs). The state as a whole used 12.0 quadrillion BTUs in 2001, while the more populous California used 7.9 quadrillion BTUs. The biggest energy users per capita are Alaskans at a whopping 1,164 million BTUs each, while Rhode Island residents sip energy at 215 million BTUs per capita. Minnesotans use a little more than the median level at 350 million BTUs per resident and 1.7 quadrillion BTUs overall.
