WalletHub today released its study on 2023's Most & Least Energy-Efficient States and South Carolina ranked as being the least energy-efficient state in the country.
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 $3,120 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 the analysis.
