For the Fourth Straight Year, Wallethub Says South Carolina Is 2022’s Least Energy-Efficient State
Personal finance website WalletHub last week released its report on 2022’s Most & Least Energy-Efficient States and South Carolina was listed as being the WORST in the country. This is the fourth straight year that the Palmetto State was ranked as the least energy-efficient.
To gauge the financial impact of doing more with less energy – the average American household spends at least $2,000 per year on utilities and another $2,148 on motor fuel and oil – WalletHub compared the auto- and home-energy efficiency in 48 U.S. states. Due to data limitations, Alaska and Hawaii were excluded from our analysis.
Energy Efficiency in South Carolina (1=Most Energy-Efficient; 24=Avg.):
- 48th – Home Energy Efficiency
- 33rd – Vehicle-Fuel Efficiency
- 35th – Transportation Efficiency
