Sources of Electricity

Were you aware that the majority of all the electricity used in the world today is generated by burning coal, the dirtiest, most polluting fossil fuel of them all? The reason for this is that it remains by far the cheapest way to produce large amounts of electricity. However, it is not the only way, as we shall see:

Perhaps the most obvious way of finding out just how much electrical energy is being used by an appliance is to turn everything else in your house off and take two meter readings exactly one minute or ten minutes apart. This will give you an approximate figure which you can then use to calculate its power demands over longer periods based on your own usage estimates.

Erasing your carbon conscience

Carbon offsetting offers people a means to compensate for the carbon emissions they produce through energy consumption. Around 40% of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions are produced through electricity consumption in home. This means that every individual has a carbon footprint to offset.
