I found a Pounds of CO2 per kWh link..

How clean is the electricity I use? - Power Profiler | Clean Energy | US EPA

Each area is different (some have more wind power), so you need to specify
where you live and plug in the amount of kWh you use.. I used 500 a month.
And it spits out your CO2 production.

5,925 pounds of carbon dioxide

Note: Your annual emissions include a grid region specific adjustment for line losses of 6.41 percent.

Once I get the power monitor installed and log some usage for the next
few months, I should have a good idea of pounds of CO2 made by the Sanyo.
Then, I'll compare that to the CO2 made from using my oil burner,
to make the same amount of BTUs.
