How clean is the electricity that I use and how does it compare to the national average?

    Mine was exactly the same. Imagine that. :) Interesting site… thanks for the link.

    Mine was way high on nuclear. This makes sense as I live between two nuclear power plants. There is a big company in town that makes hydro components and they are bustling. Apparently hydro is making a comeback.

    I wanted to let you know that my first copy of Mother Earth News arrived this week. There is so much good stuff to read in it. And I plan to recycle the magazine by passing it on to my brother. Thanks again!

    I didn’t know that I needed to have “clean” electricity…

    Alice…I am so glad that your copy arrived. I meant to drop you an email when mine arrived to make certain that yours did. Funny…I think I must have sat in the book store and read most of this issue already, because it was all very familiar to me. Now I have my own copy to reread over and over. I am afraid I am a hoarder when it comes to my fav mags.

    Timothy…lol. Thanks for stopping in…hope you come back soon.

    Anita, do you have the same electric company as we do? Victory?
