Exploring strategies to decarbonize electricity
From the simulations website:<p>"A megawatt-hour of electricity is about the amount a household uses in a month."<p>That is the elephant in the room. Our household of three adults can comfortably live on about one sixth of that amount.<p>Who can tell me with a straight face that living comfortably on three times our electricity consumption is impossible, even in a harsher, less moderate climate? That alone would reduce US household consumption by 50%!<p>I applaud Google for coming up with this tool. I also hope it will open its eyes to the feasibility of changing people's consumption patterns.
