It depends on how your electricity is generated of course. You can waste all the electricity from your wind powered generator that you want without causing any pollution. But if you waste electricity from your local power company, you are wasting money, because the more you use, the more they charge you.

you could waste as much as you wanted if you had solar.... by putting solar panels on everyones roof. ..for Free would totally fix any global warming by fixing a problem....
On average, each home you switch to solar reduces
greenhouse gas emissions in amounts equivalent to the absorption capacity of 400 trees, or what is produced by 24 cars.

A lot, & unfortunately(in the USA) the waste generated to create "electricity" is piling up all over the place, & the super repository to be(or not to be) built in Yucca Mountain is far away of becoming a reality. Don't take electricity for granted, this natural wonder can't be seen,touched,smelled,or anything else, but is a wonderful commodity that deserves respect.

Yes it depends on where you live and what kind of power stations your power grid utilizes. If you live in an area primarily powered by coal-burning plants, then wasting electricity will produce a lot more carbon emissions and other pollution than if your area's grid has a significant amount of renewable energy providing power.

If you have the money to pay for it then go ahead, waste away. But remember, one day all that wasting will cost you, no amount of money will buy you the energy you need. Remember the oil crisises of 1973 and 1979?

The best way to fight climate change is to donate to either a well known charity, or a non-profit carbon offsetter. Websites like www.CO2Debt.com screen charities for efficiency and allocate donations to them. You can look for other carbon offset programs, but a lot of them are for profit, Co2debt.com is a non profit group.

About 10% of CO2 emmissions is from residential power.
