What was it you said to me a while back - "No fair being reasonable."

Bear in mind also that a significant amount of electricity is created by burning natural gas, which burns much cleaner. In a prior life, I worked for a company that delivered gas to the electric company. Our department was called "Gas Control" which opened us up to plenty of jokes.

Nuclear generation of electricity is a whole 'nother discussion.
