Electricity's Share of Kansas Energy Consumption Has Increased from 13% to 33%

The role of electricity in Kansas energy consumption has increased from 13% of energy consumption in 1960 to 33% in 1998.

While total energy consumption has fluctuated with political and economic events over this period, electricity use has grown steadily.

Nearly 3/4ths of Kansas Electricity is Fueled by Coal

If we break down the type of fuels consumed to meet our electrical energy needs, we see that nearly 3/4ths of the energy comes from coal, with another 22% coming from nuclear power. This means that almost 95% of the State's electricity comes from fuel produced outside the State.
