Same with New York. That means a very low demand compared to the average for daytime "peaker" power plants that supply electricity to meet surge demand on hot summer days. The peaker plants are the least efficient producing few megawatts per ton of CO2. They are basically jet engines running generators. A cool summer will reduce CO2. But lets see how this winter does.

Is this the same China that is the largest polluter on the planet they’re talking about?

Where’s my Wild Turkey?
