While Americans tend to focus on recycling and buying green products, understanding how electricity is generated and its source is crucial for managing our ecological footprint.
Knowledge of your energy source and its ecological impact can guide personal actions towards more effective choices in energy consumption and sustainability.
The electricity distribution system is dominated by investor-owned corporations, with public power utilities only making up a small fraction of electricity in the U.S.
Many U.S. power plants—nuclear, coal, and natural gas—are privately owned, showcasing a significant corporate influence over the country's electricity generation.
