Learning your Power Profile and setting the CO equivalent value

Background:
The electricity we consume comes from many different sources. It can
be generated from fossil fuels such as Oil, Natural Gas and Coal. These
methods often emit air pollutants into the atmosphere. Some of these
emissions have been referred to as "greenhouse gases". Other sources
of electricity such as Nuclear, Hydro, Wind and Solar may have other im-
pacts on our environment but do not typically emit these gases.
There are many gases produced in the consumption of fossil fuels. Typi-
cally, Carbon Dioxide (CO ) is the most common. We will refer to CO

emissions in the use of this product. However, other pollutants are con-
sidered in your local Power Profile and in the estimate displayed by the
product.
The Kill A Watt Wireless product will allow you to estimate the quantity
of these pollutants that are discharged into the atmosphere in the pro-
duction of the electricity that you consume. In order to more accurately
estimate this value, you can change the factory-set CO equivalent that

is already set in your unit.

of emissions are produced per Kilowatt-Hour* of electricity generated?
Most electric utilities publish this information and it can be found in refer-
