Most energy consumption is for transportation and housing.
The US trade deficit with the rest of the world is only about 3% of gdp, that doesn’t buy much in the way of emissions.

This is precisely because most states exported their heavy industry, both overseas and to states like Texas, which has many chemical plants and similar energy-intensive industry.
