Energy by the Numbers: FLORIDA

As of 2006, fossil fuels accounted for 80% of Florida's energy consumption, with 84% of electricity generation derived from fossil fuels. Between 1990 and 2005, the state's greenhouse gas emissions grew by 39%, a rate more than twice the U.S. average, driven primarily by the transportation and electric generation sectors.

• Fossil fuels were the dominant energy source in Florida, accounting for 80% of state energy consumption in 2006, an increase from 78% in 1990. This growth is attributed to higher demand for natural gas for electricity generation and petroleum for transportation. Fossil fuels specifically provided approximately 84% of the state's electricity generation.
• Florida's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions increased by 39% between 1990 and 2005, which was more than double the average growth rate of the United States. These emissions were largely driven by the transportation and electric generation sectors, with energy consumption accounting for approximately 91% of total GHG emissions as of 2005.
