Thats your state, must be cali. Most states still have coal plants.Build all the EV's that get charged up using electricity made from coal. Bunch of fucking hypocrites.
Not in my state it isn't.
Our one and only coal fired plant left in my state is being shut down. The shutdown stared in 2005 and should be done soon.
The electricity we use to recharge my husband's car comes mostly from water. Some from wind.
My state has a law that requires a certain amount of our electricity be generated from alternative power. We don't consider water alternative since hydro electricity has been around for 100 years.
Your state may still be slaves to dirty coal but not mine.
So I'm not a hypocrite.
No I don't live in California. They have tons of electric plants all over the place. They're huge. I don't know what they use to generate the electricity in those plants but there's always some sort of flame coming out of one of the smoke stacks. If I had to take a guess it's coal but I don't know for sure.
I do know they buy our excess electricity and that's not generated by coal. It's mostly generated by water and wind.
We started building a wind farm in the 90s. Now it's one of the largest wind farms in the nation. We have places here that are called the Saudi Arabia of wind. In that it's a very strong wind that blows 24-7 365 days a year. One of those places is one of the best places for windsurfing in America.
