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. |
