I was not impressed by the carbon calculator. The home part had no way to account for energy efficency in my home it just assumed that because I live in Wisconsin I use a large amount of carbon to heat my home. The program showed that my home produces over 12 tons just for heat. My house is heated by an electrically driven geothermal heat pump. If I select gas for heat it says 3 tons. My heat pump runs off of clean energy just like the rest of my house and I know of a quite a few people who get a percentage of their power from green energy. There is no way to change how much power is used unless you change the size of your home. Also they don't say how many kw hours they are assuming that I use because of the size of my home. By the time I finished with the carbon calculator I did not bother with the rest of the site.
