8. Whoops, 17 thousand. Less than 3 millionths of US output.

The point is still the same. A few thousand diesel powered trucks carrying plywood to board up the houses from global warming induced hurricanes can put out more CO2 than the entire state of Vermont.

Sorry for the typo. Even a factor of 1000 makes almost no difference on the basic point.

It does appear that Vermont depends on natural gas for 2% of its electrical energy. Vermont will not see much of a surge in electricity prices this year.
