(My speculations:)
I doubt it's really any one thing, unless you count California being really wealthy as the one thing.
I think air conditioning is fairly normal in California? It isn't in most of the world.
High motor vehicle usage.
Lots of energy-using technology used in agriculture.
Manufacturing: stuff is actually still made in California.
- evgen 18y agoDon't forget all of that energy used to keep that intarwebs thing running.... While California uses a lot of energy it also produces a ton of stuff. California's economy would make it the sixth largest economy in the world if it was its own country (11th by PPP) and according to wikipedia it has one of the lowest per-capita energy consumption rates in the US.
