i chose regular power but...
i could have chosen green ultility but... on the links, it lists WA as 75% hydro, 8 % coal, 5 % other green, etc. well, i dont doubt that is the statewide average but that does not apply to me.
Puget Power sends us quarterly newsletters and our power sources have been very static for quite a while.
during peak hours 10 am to 7 PM; we are actually about 58% hydro, 35% coal. at night we are nearly 100% renewable. over in Eastern WA or most of the state Except western wa area between Everett and Olympia, they are pretty much 100 % hydro/wind.
now i guess i could program the timer to only run when we are primarily renewable. Puget Power times run off peak starting at 8 PM but with running 110 volt only, i will probably plug in as much as i can as often as i can.
most of the time, it wont be an issue since i will be doing 20-30 miles a day for about 4 days a week. but will also be doing a minimum of 60 miles 1-2 days a week and being able to sufficiently recharge after those days i dont think will be a problem, but at the same time, i am not going to wait for any specific time since here is quantity of use and not time of day
**note** i am impressed with Vermonts 99.9 % green renewable power well if nuclear is considered green that is. but zero coal, zero natural gas and .1% oil is still pretty awesome!
