> dryer use accounts for about 6 percent of U.S. residential electricity use

That's a huge amount! I didn't realize it was so much!

NOt mine! I live in the country, but the county gas pipeline crosses our property. The easement (written 50 years ago) permits us to connect as a customer.

So all our appliances are gas.

Okay, so your dryer uses zero electricity, but the carbon impact is presumably still substantial?

>>Wowfun+gb
Isn't there consensus that the industrial sector's carbon footprint is multitudes greater than residential so even a net-0 residential would barely put a dent in reducing carbon impact?

>>judge2+Xc
Residential energy use accounts for roughly 20% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United States.

So it could do something, but it's not everything.
