looked up CA - at least they do report it. Looks like 68% from non renewables and half of that from natural gas - which is a pretty clean and abundant resource. Which also makes one wonder why we are not focusing on multiple fuel alternatives not just electric - follow the money on that I'm sure, nothing to do with what's best or makes sense as you would expect with the Gov.
Natural gas makes a lot of sense to me since ICE engines can actually run on that without significant changes.
