How long have YOU been using that fossil fuel? You don't have your coal burner yet. You're still using fossil fuel. When you count the coal being used to create the electricity, I suspect you will be using just as much resources. On Apr 19, 2015 11:32 PM, "Wiggins Patrick" <paw@getbeehive.net> wrote:
Not sure that's on topic for UA, Chuck. But then quilt making isn't either. :)
So, first I'll mention that I buy a lot of wind energy each month. That helps. But as for Utah electricity being coal powered you're right. About 82% of Utah electricity comes from burning filthy, dirty coal.
Ah, but wait, what about all of the filthy, dirty electricity used to turn dead dinosaurs into fuel for ICE (internal combustion engine) cars? Not to mention the the additional energy used to get that fuel to the local gas station?
Here's light hearted look at the subject:

You do realize that an electric car in Utah is really coal powered, don't you? ;-)

No date yet. First I have to wait for the car to show up (Tesla says
they're supposed to start building it next week and deliver it around 13 May). Once I have the car I'll check with the school and arrange a date.
Last day of school is 21 May so it'll have to be between 13 and 21.
I'll post something here as soon as I know more.
