These rates
show the relative amount of air emissions or nuclear waste in pounds per
megawatthour (MWh) produced as a result of generating electricity from fossil
fuel or nuclear units. The emission and nuclear waste characteristics of the
electricity you receive vary depending on the mix of fuels used in generating
the electricity provided by your electric supplier. The regional average
includes data from Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Nuclear
waste is a solid waste product that is stored on site. It is not an emission
and is not released into the environment. |
