Com Ed Reports 1% of Energy from Wind

Enclosed in my October electric bill was an “Environmental Disclosure Information” report from Com Ed for the last twelve months.

When I looked at Com Ed’s sources of electricity, I found that only 1% comes from wind mills.

The biggie, of course, is nuclear power at 58%.

Next is coal at 32%.

4% came from natural gas. Peaker plants, I would imagine.

Also coming in at 1% were hydro and biomass power.

Alternative power sources obviously does not have a high priority for our electric company.

The windmills you see at on Interstate 39 near Paw Paw, Illinois. The photo was taken last June 7th on the way to the Illinois Republican State Convention in Decatur.
