What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows residential electricity use measured in kilowatt hours (kWh) per capita for the region. |
| Why this is important: Electricity generated from fossil fuels produces air pollution in the form of particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, and toxic air contaminants. Air pollution from these emissions in turn contributes to respiratory disease and deaths from cardiovascular diseases. Electricity generation also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and indirectly to climate change which threatens health through more extreme weather events, increased air pollution, limitations on food production, increased water-borne and food-borne illnesses, and increased infectious disease vectors. |
| Technical Note: The distribution is based on data from 58 California counties and population estimates from the U.S. Census. |
