Emma,
Most houses have a refrigerator. Most households in say, Southern
California have an electricity consumption of 500 kWh a month. The
refirgerator is generally the single largest consumer of that electricity
(during summer months in some regions the AC unit would probably surpass
the fridge). So when you have about 3.5 million of the things running the
impact is going to be large. Granted cars might be a larger impact, but
fridges would probably make it into the top ten list.
