18. I tried some New Jersey zip codes - they use lots of coal!
and their CO2 emissions are about average for the nation.
Even though they use twice as much nuclear as the rest of the country,
they use about the same amount of coal as the rest of the country,
and have their CO2 emissions are about the same as the rest of the country.
This just goes to show that nuclear really doesn't replace coal or reduce CO2 emissions.

Here's the results for Princeton, NJ.
NJ zip codes list: http://www.state.nj.us/infobank/njzips.htm

08540 Princeton Main Office

PSE&G vs. national average:

45.1% 49.6% coal
38.3% 19.3% nuclear
9.6% 18.8% gas

1.63 1.94 Nitrogen Oxide
7.79 5.26 Sulfur Dioxide
1139 1329 Carbon Dioxide
