NM has a lot of coal-fired power plants, in addition to our somewhat-famous wind farms. CA, on the other hand, has more nuclear plants. I find it interesting that those eeeevil nuclear plants may become more popular now that CO2 emissions are more eeeevil than nuclear waste...Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-2066042135117767932007-02-27T15:05:00.000-07:002007-02-27T15:05:00.000-07:00Your points are well-taken, Becky.Laurie...the mil...Your points are well-taken, Becky.<BR/><BR/>Laurie...the mileage field won't take a comma. I tried. And it did occur to me that if I were 2 or 3 people the footprint number would be lower. But... why try and jigger the results, eh? And two people trying to live in this small space (which gets on <I>my</I> nerves, occasionally) would result in severe physical or mental damage to one or the other parties. Eventually, but more than likely <I>much</I> sooner than that.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-85602155805656770512007-02-27T15:02:00.000-07:002007-02-27T15:02:00.000-07:00We're smaller than average - 3.25 - but I noticed ...We're smaller than average - 3.25 - but I noticed that when you change states, the numbers go up. Why is that? If you lived in California, you'd be 6.25. Why should it matter what state you live in? Maybe it's because all the cool people live in California.<BR/><BR/>Hey, Buck. It's also in how many people are in your house. I switched all your info with mine and the only other thing that brought your number down was adding people to El Casa Móvil De Pennington. So what you have to do is go round up a room mate and then you can proudly say you have a carbon footprint smaller than average! Heck, add five. And then move to California.<BR/><BR/>(What is Gore's, I wonder?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-78650537147327488262007-02-27T14:55:00.000-07:002007-02-27T14:55:00.000-07:00I got average.

Also, try putting a comma in the mileage you drive to see if that makes any difference.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13453105465334116413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-14283939160857379132007-02-27T13:26:00.000-07:002007-02-27T13:26:00.000-07:00I am average, but like you, I think the whole thin...I am average, but like you, I think the whole thing is a farce. There was no place to show how many rooms in my house I had to keep cooled or heated, and no place to enter information on how many miles I flew in my private jet each year. <BR/><BR/>Another thing I find interesting, it seems that only politicians and hollywonks are pushing this global warming scare. I don't hear much from reputable scientists about it. Could it be that America's elitist class is afraid us peasants might use up all "their" fuel?Becky Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901212090175780900noreply@blogger.com
