Hey, if I have a coal burning electric plant that pumps soot into the air, and then sends electricity to your house. Do you consider that a "non polluting" appliance?
How about if I have a Coleman generator that is chugging out fumes and burning gas. There is a wire going from the generator to the furnace. Is the furnace non polluting?
Is the hand dryer in the bathroom really "non polluting"? is electricity really more environmentally friendly than sawing down a tree to make a paper towel? I mean, the tree comes back in 50 years, we don't expect dinosaurs to come back.
I live in the power zone of Ginnae Nuclear plant. When I push the hand dryer at the restaurant, I am requiring the guys at Ginnae to make nuclear waste. Non polluting, my aunt fanny!
