We're better than the national average on hydro (thanks, TVA!) and worse than the national average on coal (thanks, TVA). Posted by lesjones | TrackBackSynthstuff - music, photography and more... linked with The Quality of Electricity Comments
Clicking on the link I got "file not received". It worked earlier, but it stopped working. I've changed the URL and it seems to work. Posted by: Les Jones at December 28, 2007Thanks Les, that did the trick. Posted by: Mike at December 29, 2007This all assumes C02 is evil. Simply because the Supreme Court, the UN and research teams funded by taxes levied under highly questionable scare tactics have deemed toxic the very gas we exhale doesn't make it so...especially when genuinely evil ulterior motives are afoot. Posted by: koblog at December 30, 2007I live in Tennessee and got much worse on coal, real good on gas, better on oil, equal on nuclear, and higher on hydro. Not half bad. Posted by: Pantera at December 30, 2007Up here in the Pacific Northwest, we get 49% hydroelectric, which isn't surprising given all the dams we have here. After that, it's about 36& coal, 11& gas, and a smattering of other types. I'm actually kind of surprised that there's still that much coal here though... Posted by: Brian Lutz at December 30, 2007C'mon all, the emmisions rate is the important item here, even tho' it's a function of the fuel mix. So, where are the rest? No solar, no wind.
