Meanwhile, Palo Alto is opposing its first major affordable housing development in like 10 years with a grand total of 59 units because of TRAFFIC (while people are dying across the state and living in RVs nearby on El Camino Real).http://peninsulapress.com/2018/11/02/palo-alto-residents-push-back-against-affordable-housing-project/ …

Every time a boomer homeowner sitting on $1M+ in equity while paying property tax rates from decades ago says millennials can live elsewhere, they’re effectively pushing them to states where the built environment will 2-3X their carbon emissions per capita https://www.eia.gov/environment/emissions/state/analysis/ …pic.twitter.com/Iwv9c9iiQs

This is simply a chart of distance to the next person averaged over the state. Transportation CO2 cannot always be minimized on a per-capita basis, but clean energy production can.

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.
