At night, when most bulbs are used, in California, we are producing 6,000 megawatts more power per hour than is consumed. That's a lot of greenhouse gasses, especially if the power is all produced by Natural Gas. Why do we do this? Beause you can't let the grid lose its charge. What happens to this power? It dissapates. Pooof! See: caiso dot com slash outlook slash outlook dot html to see what I am talking about. The only real solution is to have a baseline powersource that is non-carbon producing, AND it has to work at NIGHT. The only soltuion today is Nuke! </p> http://sfist.com/2007/06/05/free_bulbs.php#comment-1121383 http://sfist.com/2007/06/05/free_bulbs.php#comment-1121383 Comments Tue, 05 Jun 2007 17:52:20 -0800 <p>The top two cities on that Yahoo site: Pelzer, SC and Dover, DE.
