Texas
Texas plays a critical role in America’s domestic energy production. While Texas is the largest petroleum refiner in the U.S, it also produces more than three times the natural gas than any other state. Surprisingly, given its history with the oil and gasoline industries, Texas also boasts the second largest number of alternative fuel vehicles on the road today. |

A portion of the funds from the State Energy Program are allocated by formula among the states.
