Yes, there are still some folks who never bought an electric dryer! And they have no problem with their "carbon footprint." It seems electric dryers are right up there with electric hot water heaters as huge devourers of electricity. Our electricity around here comes from coal-burning plants and the coal comes from West Virginia (often from highly criticized "mountaintop removal" mines.)
But it is encouraging to see solar and wind power put to good use in a wonderfully low-tech fashion...the laundry line.
