Biomass and solar energy are the two main sources of renewable energy in Central Mississippi, but there are also a variety of non-renewable energy sources available in the region. These include crude oil, gasoline, heating oil, diesel, propane, natural gas liquids, and biofuels. To gain a better understanding of these energy sources, it is important to consider their exploration and reserves, storage, imports and exports, production, prices, and sales. Additionally, the use of these energy sources in homes, commercial buildings, manufacturing and transportation must be taken into account.
The monthly and annual energy forecasts, analysis of energy issues, financial analysis, and congressional reports are all important resources to consider when looking at non-renewable energy sources. Financial market analysis and financial data for major energy companies can also provide valuable insight into the availability of non-renewable energy sources in Central Mississippi. The data on greenhouse gases, voluntary reports, power plant emissions, maps, tools and resources related to power interruptions and infrastructure can all be used to gain a better understanding of the non-renewable energy sources available in Central Mississippi. State energy information including summaries, rankings, data and analysis can be used to gain a better understanding of the non-renewable energy sources available in the region.
International energy information including summaries, classifications, data and analysis can also be used to gain a better understanding of the non-renewable energy sources available in Central Mississippi. Regional energy information including panels, maps, data and analysis can also provide valuable insight into the availability of non-renewable energy sources in the region. Tools for customizing searches, viewing specific data sets, studying detailed documentation and accessing time series data can all be used to gain a better understanding of the non-renewable energy sources available in Central Mississippi. EIA's free and open data is available as APIs, Excel add-ins, bulk files and widgets which can be used to gain a better understanding of the non-renewable energy sources available in Central Mississippi.
The forms that the EIA uses to collect energy data including descriptions, links to survey instructions and additional information can all be used to gain a better understanding of the non-renewable energy sources available in Central Mississippi. Additionally, subscribing to the feeds to receive updates on EIA products including Today in Energy and What's New can provide valuable insight into the availability of non-renewable energy sources in Central Mississippi. Short and timely articles with graphics on energy facts issues and trends can also be used to gain a better understanding of the non-renewable energy sources available in Central Mississippi. Lesson plans science fair experiments field trips teacher's guide and career corner reports requested by Congress or considered important can all provide valuable insight into the availability of non-renewable energy sources in Central Mississippi.
State profile and energy estimates from the Mississippi Public Utilities Commission Mississippi Development Authority Mississippi Forest Energy and Chemical Industries Mississippi State Oil and Gas Board Mississippi Department of Human Resources Division of Community Services can all provide valuable insight into the availability of non-renewable energy sources in Central Mississippi. The most promising renewable resource in the Southeast and the Mississippi Power service area is biomass which reduces sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions compared to coal while absorbing carbon dioxide from the air as it grows. Coal has been the main source of electricity produced in Montana for nearly two decades but its share of generation declined from 70 percent in 2001 to just under 50 percent last year. Vermont's ambitious renewable energy goal calls for 75 percent of the electricity sold in the state to come from renewable sources by 2032 including 10 percent from small sources.
In an effort to encourage more non-hydroelectric renewable energy Oregon will require its largest utility companies to get 50 percent of their electricity from new renewable energy sources by 2040. New Mexico is also seeking to increase generation from carbon-free sources because it sends a significant amount of its electricity to California which has some of the strictest renewable energy policies in the country. Wind is Michigan's main source of renewable energy providing nearly 5 percent of electricity produced in the state last year while wind and natural gas have increased their share of generation in recent years each only accounting for about 2 percent last year. The two main sources of renewable energy in South Dakota are biomass or energy that comes from burning wood or other organic materials as well as hydroelectricity.
Last year wind was the second largest source of electricity produced in South Dakota accounting for nearly a third of generation while coal was once more than a third of Florida's electricity production but natural gas overtook coal as its main source two years later.
