Dirty Power: The very electricity powering your computer screen right now
was probably produced by burning lumps of black dirty carbon-filled coal. Over half of the United States’
electrical power is currently derived from coal, a non-renewable fossil fuel
which releases significant pollutants into the environment. Nuclear, the second
largest fuel for electrical power, produces 1,900 tons of radioactive waste per
plant per year, which must be stored for centuries.

about 18,000 kilowatt/hours per year.

A Clean Alternative: A powersat
is a large power generating system that
can provide enough energy for a city the size of Seattle. It can do this without
producing greenhouse
gases, air pollution, radioactive waste, or destruction of natural habitats. In
fact, conversion to powersat power can help improve the environment by making it
possible to phase out the use of harmful conventional energy sources. Learn more
