    Americans increase overall pace of decarbonization, but state trends vary
    Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

    In 2023, Americans reduced their consumption of electricity and fossil fuels, while increasing consumption of carbon-free energies, according to the most recent energy and carbon flowcharts released by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Each year, LLNL releases these flowcharts to illustrate the nation's consumption and uses of energy, as well as associated CO2 emissions. Overall, Americans consumed slightly less energy (approximately one percent) than in 2022, but – unlike the last time this happened during the COVID pandemic – this decrease did not occur due to an economic downturn. The US gross domestic product actually increased in 2023 by 2.9 percent, indicating that the US economy increased its overall energy efficiency from 2022 to 2023. While the United States, overall, is actioning on its decarbonization goals, the 2022 flowcharts for the 50 states illustrate more nuanced journeys. After comparing 2022 to 2021 energy data, two trends emerged. First, 11 states consu
