These results indicate that coal and oil are the energy sources leading to most emissions, and that hydro, wind, and nuclear are the energy sources leading to least emissions. On the two extremes, coal and oil result in about 176 times the emissions from hydro. from coal. New Mexico. New Mexico Ohio.

Jenkins: Energy systems became globalized in the middle of the 20th century and then encountered global supply shocks, like the oil embargoes of the ’70s. The second reason is that the grid we have is built out to places where there were coal mines and hydropower dams, not where there’s the best wind and sun.
