What we perceive to be much cleaner (electric) may not be as favorable as one thinks when looking at the big picture. It is very dependent on what means are used to generate the electricity. If you have fossil fuel generated electricity, particularly if it comes from older generally dirtier plants, it will likely lose to a tier 4 diesel electric. Not in the path of the electric, but in the broader sense absolutely. Generate with hydro, different story. |
