The table ranks the states according to their energy intensity or unit of energy input per dollar of gross product output. Arkansas was the 10th least efficient state in 2004. In 2002, Arkansas was ranked as the 11th least efficient state. In 2004, Arkansans used 13.89 thousand Btu for each dollar in state product as compared to 15.88 thousand Btu per dollar product in 2002. Arkansas gross state product growth has outpaced energy consumption for a number of years, as will be shown later in this section. However, there is a trend toward less energy intensity that can be seen throughout the nation as a whole. Two main factors have contributed to this trend, greater productivity due to technological advances and a greater focus on energy conservation.
