In the past century, as the climate has warmed, sea level rise has accelerated. Scientists predict it will only increase, and they're studying changes in the ocean and land to better understand how and why the water is rising

I'd like my students to compare energy sources from different parts of the country.? Would some of you be willing to send me a recent utility bill (say from January) with identifying information removed?? I'm trying to have them read the bills, calculate the amount of electricity used, the amount of other energy (such as natural gas) used, compare the amounts and costs from different regions and investigate the primary sources for the electricity (some of that information would not be on the bill, but from the utility's website). I'm happy to accept photocopies at the address below or attachments if you have an online or scanned version.? Obviously, want to know the location and, if not obvious, the utility name.
