I think the idea is right, but I'm wondering if we're seeing a chart where extractive industries form a large portion of state GDP? Coal, fracking, oil, etc... Which is a bit more complicated: that coal from WY is used throughout the US

yes, that's why this chart is imperfect. I was looking for a better one around just transportation habits & building codes. Driving is like half of SF's carbon emissions, btw. And then in Texas and the south, you'd have air conditioning as well.

This line of thinking opens some interesting possibilities. A carbon tax implemented so that citizens of states with lots of space and potential for clean energy generation get tax credit for the resulting carbon offsets has distinct policy potential. Could be a good option!
