All of this data is taken at a single point in time, and that is at 4AM of every day, when nearly all of us are sound asleep. For the Introduction and background for this Base Load, refer back to the original Post at this link . This is the permanent link to all the Posts with the data from each week. For the purposes of this data, the sources are as follows. Total Power consumption for each State Fossil Fuel totals and Coal Fire ...
