Recent data shows that blackouts are on the rise in the U.S., with the average American now experiencing around 1.4 power outages a year. What’s more, the length of these outages has basically doubled since 2013, and these days, a typical blackout lasts around seven hours.

Depending on where you live, you might not have much of a say in where your electricity comes from.

For anyone who’s worried about their home’s effect on things like air quality and pollution, this presents a bit of a problem — because of our country’s electricity still comes from dirty energy sources like coal and gas.
