On average, Americans spendnearly $2,000 per year on energy bills. But that burden could be lighter.
Experts estimate that the U.S. could save more than $1.2 trillion if more energy-efficient measures were put in place.
This fact prompted personal finance website Wallethub to studywhich states are the most and least energy efficient. New York was found to be the most energy efficient, while South Carolina was found to be the least.
Among High Plains states, Colorado performed the best, landing at number eight on the list. Kansas and Nebraska come next, though they’re in the bottom half of states, falling at numbers 30 and 31, respectively. Texas was at number 38, despite its massive wind-energy system. And Oklahoma came last among HPPR states, landing at number 42.
