Story behind the song
US clothes dryers use about 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a year per household. That’s about 10% of the 11,000 kilowatt hours of electricity used per year by most households. Therefore, if we all start using clotheslines, it will be like turning off about 10% of the power plants that are needed to produce energy for US households.
