Here are some California stats from the EIA:

Table R2. Energy Consumption by Source and Total Consumption per Capita, Ranked by State, 2003

Rank among states for Natural gas consumption per capita: 2
Rank among states for petroleum consumption per capita: 2
Rank among states for retail electric consumption per capita: 2
Rank among states for coal consumption per capita: 39

Remember California does not like coal so they import coal fired electricity from adjacent states.

You are reading the table wrong.  California is 49th out of 51 (includes District of Columbia) in per capita energy use.

The columns you read from are ranked by total energy used from those sources.  Per capita is the final column.  Only New York and Road Island use less energy per capita.
