Assume Wyoming produced 42% of total coal in the US in 2016 (same as in 2015) and all of that coal was used in electric power generation. A total of 4.08x10° MWh was consumed in the US in 2016 and 30.4% of this electric power was produced using coal. i. How many tons of greenhouse gas cO2 emission per year due to electricity generation in US? j. How many tons of greenhouse gas CO2 emission per year due to coal produced by Wyoming?
