question: As an international student from a tropical country experiencing my first winter in the United States while studying environmental science, I am curious about the impact of winter on energy consumption. Provide a JSON formatted list of the top 5 U.S. states by energy consumption during the winter months. Include the following keywords in your response: "energy consumption", "winter", "U.S. states", "environmental impact".
answer: ```json
  [
      {
          "state": "Texas",
          "energy_consumption_winter": "High",
          "environmental_impact": "Significant due to heating needs and infrastructure challenges"
      },
      {
          "state": "California",
          "energy_consumption_winter": "Moderate",
          "environmental_impact": "Managed through diverse energy sources and efficiency measures"
      },
      {
          "state": "New York",
          "energy_consumption_winter": "High",
          "environmental_impact": "Considerable due to dense population and cold climate"
      },
      {
          "state": "Florida",
          "energy_consumption_winter": "Moderate",
          "environmental_impact": "Increased heating demand despite mild winters"
      },
      {
          "state": "Illinois",
          "energy_consumption_winter": "High",
          "environmental_impact": "Notable due to severe winter conditions and heating requirements"
      }
