    - On average, electricity sources emit 1.297 lbs CO2 per kWh. So you're dumping almost 182 lbs of CO2 to support that folding experiment -- (link) - oblique Dec 9, 10:48 4
      - That will feed 14 of us for a year! -- nm - Tree Dec 9, 11:00
      - How much are you dumping into the air after a massive ass blast after Chipotle day? -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 10:50 2
