🕒 Same Hour, Different Impact—Where and When You Use Electricity Matters

Body (General Public Style):

The electricity we use changes by the hour—and so do its cost and carbon pollution. But did you know that it also depends on where you live?

👉 In Texas, we have a lot of solar and wind power. That means electricity is often cleaner and cheaper during the day (thanks to the sun) and at night (thanks to the wind).

✅ Tip: Run appliances mid-day or charge electric vehicles overnight for lower emissions and savings.

👉 In Louisiana, the grid depends mostly on natural gas, so pollution levels stay more constant throughout the day. But prices can still rise during high demand—especially in hot afternoons.

✅ Tip: Avoid heavy energy use between 4–9 p.m., when demand and prices go up.
