OwningElectricCar wrote: www.owningelectriccar.com/national-grid-electric.html The figures shown for the electricity carbon footprint take raw fuel supply and transmission losses into account. I would really love to extend this to other countries in Europe and for different states in the US. Getting my paws on the data is proving a bit tricky though... Hi, in Germany every electricity supplier has to inform its customers about the amount of nuclear waste and the CO2 emissions its electricity has compared to the German average. Unfortunately without transmission losses and raw fuel supply taken into account. Here you'll find the figures of EWS Schönau (the first ever German green electricity company - and still the most honest one with no ties to big companies): http://www.ews-schoenau.de/fileadmin/content/documents/sauberer_Strom/Stromherkunft/Stromherkunftsnachweis.pdf I guess with a little help from http://dict.leo.org you can translate the important words.
