My home heating, cooking, and clothes drying is now handled by natural gas supplied by a fracked well on my property, rather than by electricity generated by the coal fired plant thirty miles away.
If I can find a workable gas-powered air conditioning system, (can’t go geothermal as it’s solid rock under my house) I can probably reduce my use of coal-generated electricity to about one-fourth or less of what it once was.
So I’m doing in microcosm what the US is doing on the macro scale:
Now if I could get a few hundred of my neighbors to do the same, it might be enough to offset Leo’s next jaunt to the Med. Think that would be a good motivator?
