Where does the electricity come from?

45% of the electricity generated in the US comes from fossil
fuels.

Should have been 75%.

OK, I said 65+... looks like i was a bit 'conservative' in my
guestimation.

---------------------------------
Natural gas, coal and petroleum are all fossil fuels and produce the
bulk of the electricity used
in the USA. Nuclear kicks in another 19 percent. Solar, wind,
geothermal sources produce
very little by comparison. There's no magic or anything particularly
"green" about battery
powered cars. The energy had to come from somewhere.
