Gosh, Ebbie. That cooking oil must smoke a lot:

CO2 Emissions per capita by states

From Wyoming to Idaho, the states' per capita CO2 emissions
By The Associated Press

Here are the states ranked by carbon dioxide emissions per capita with No. 1 being the highest pollution per person. In parentheses are per-capita carbon dioxide emissions in metric tons. One metric ton is 2,204.6 pounds. The national average is 20 metric tons.

1. Wyoming (125)
2. North Dakota (80)
3. Alaska (69)

National average for this meaningless statistic is (20), metric tons per citizen per year.

Note also that other similar "reports" give entirely different results.
