Nebraska has been the nation's second-largest producer of ethanol [[biofuel]]s.  It has few fossil-fuel resources except for crude oil from the [[Niobrara Formation]] which underlays a portion of the state's western region.  It hosts one uranium leach mining operation near its northwest border with Wyoming.  It has an abundance of renewable generation resources, including untapped biomass generation potential from its productive agriculture industry. It has been a top-ten state for per-capita energy consumption due in large part to its energy-intensive agriculture, meat packing, and food processing industries.<ref name=eiapro>{{cite web |url=https://www.eia.gov/state/analysis.php?sid=NE |title=Nebraska Electricity Profile Analysis |publisher=U.S. EIA |access-date=2021-03-11 |archive-date=March 20, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210320210313/https://www.eia.gov/state/analysis.php?sid=NE |url-status=live }}</ref>
