Energy Sources
How is your electricity
being produced?
Electrical energy is a secondary energy
and therefore needs natural gas,
coal, wind,
solar, and water power plus
nuclear energy to be produced.
Because electricity is produced by another energy source, electricity actually results in a
huge carbon footprint.
