The chart above shows transportation-based carbon dioxide emissions broken down by population in EU states.  Three states (Luxembourg, Denmark, and Malta) really stand out having at least 2.5 times the emissions that fourth place Ireland has.

The chart above shows transportation based carbon dioxide emissions in EU and US regions.  Clearly, US regions emit far more transportation-based carbon dioxide than EU regions do.

The chart above shows transportation based carbon dioxide emissions in EU regions.  Well over half the emissions in the EU come from the Western EU.

The chart above shows transportation based carbon dioxide emissions in EU and US states.  One-quarter of all carbon dioxide emissions from transportation use in the EU and the US come from four states (out of 78): Texas, California, Florida, and Germany.  In addition, Texas and California are the only two states that emit more than 100 million metric tons.

The chart above shows transportation based carbon dioxide emissions in EU states.  One-third of all carbon dioxide emissions from transportation use come from two countries: Germany and the United Kingdom, adding in France and Italy makes up more than half of the transportation based carbon dioxide emitted within the EU.

The chart above shows the miles of rail per square mile of land in EU and US regions.  The Europeans have more rail per unit of land than we Americans do which is not surprising at all.  What is surprising is that the EU's region with the least rail coverage rivals the US's region with the most rail coverage.

The chart above shows the kilometers of rail per square kilometer of land in EU regions.  Clearly there is a sharp divide between the Western and Eastern EU and the Northern and Southern EU, with the former having around a-tenth of a kilometer of rail per square kilometer of territory and the latter having less than half that.

The chart above shows the kilometers of rail per square kilometer of land in EU states.  Four states (Luxembourg, Belgium, the Czech Republic, and Germany) are far above their peers in railway coverage.  Germany is especially impressive considering the large size of the state.

The chart above shows the miles of roads per square mile of land in EU and US regions.  Only the Western EU has more than three miles of road for every square mile of territory.

The chart above shows the kilometers of roads per square kilometer of land in EU regions.  The Northern EU, with its vast expanses of land, is the least paved region per square kilometer.  It is also the only region that has less than half of a kilometer of road per every square kilometer of territory.
