Wyoming today has the highest CO2 per capita production

Sounds like that's largely because they are the top coal producing state (40% of US coal). In 2023, 71% of power generation was from coal. 23% was from renewables, with about 90% of that coming from wind. But yeah, coal's just going to produce a lot more CO2, even compared to other fossil fuels.

Um... Yes. Just to be clear, I am advocating that Wyoming produce less coal.

And for the US (the whole world really) to consume less.
