I was surprised to see NY there and even more surprised to see it as the number 1 in the least use of Energy Per Capita

But while I'm here... here is another link to look at

Actually, not all that surprising to me. Per capita energy use largely depends on transportation demands and industrial demands - The electricity to run some furnaces can run a suburban block's worth of homes. Because of the overpowering presence of one of the world's largest cities, with relatively robust public transport, which also happens to be one a major centers of finance, NY State has an awful lot of people who are in relatively non-consuming desk jobs and who can, if they so choose, go for days without driving a car... if they own one at all.
