thoughts on carbon footprint
If only 2% of our electricity comes from non-renewable sources (source: http://www.seattle.gov/light/FuelMix/ ), instead of the 89% of irish electricity (source: http://www.energycustomers.ie/electricity/index.aspx, how does that affect the carbon footprint of appliances? (Or in other words, I don’t accept that one tumble dryer load generates 2kg of CO2)
I’m all for saving the world, and all that, but, everything in a context. Plus - if I were put wet clothes on the clothesline outside today, I’d return to find them frozen. Not something I’m about to try.
