New York State might be home to the second largest metro area in the world, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not energy efficient. New York has made major efforts in sustainability, from wind farms all across the state to residential solar panels, and continues to encourage green practices by businesses and residents alike. WalletHub recently analyzed the energy efficiency of the 48 contiguous states to find which state is the most efficient and the winner is New York!<\/p>\n

New York\u2019s Scores<\/h3>\n

In \u201cAuto Energy Efficiency\u201d, New York took first place. With so many public transportation options in major cities across the state, it\u2019s easy to see how it scored so well in the category. In \u201cHome Energy Efficiency\u201d, New York came in 4th place behind Vermont, Utah, and Minnesota.<\/p>\n
