Net zero greenhouse emissions doesn't imply perpetual motion. There are a number of methods for generating electricity that don't produce greenhouse gases.

Though I do remain skeptical.

Uhhhhhhhmmmm, Kuhschiesse. Unless somebody built a nuke by the port.

You know of a way to turn an engine without burning fuel?

Well, ok, let me back off - I do. Solar power. Burns about ten times as much fuel as the dirtiest oil, when all is accounted for.

Wind power. Bird blender. Need I say more?

Environmentally, dirty as heck.

How about tidal power?

That might actually work. Hmmm.

I was scratching my head here...and as long as the subject has been brought up...
If what you say is true, why use the term "net zero" ?
Why not just say "zero" emissions.
What does "net zero" mean ?

Are they not inferring 100% of Seattle City Light's power generation is hydro-electric + nuclear?

Somehow, I doubt it, too.
