Individual Usage

• The average EMAP student, without using a car,
  uses approximately 33 KWHs of energy a day, or
  about 12,000 per year. This is significantly
  lower than the state average of 62 KWH per year
  for residential uses, but college students living
  on campus do not drive nearly as much as the
  average Alabamian. Also, the high-density housing
  lowers usage per person.

State usage

• The state of Alabama uses 621 billion KWHs of
  energy per year (1.73 billion per day). This is
  equivalent to 17 billion gallons of gasoline or
  131 million tons of coal.
