In California in 2013 we generated 201 Gigawatts of electricity.
1 Gigawatt was produced by coal.
And that was not in Los Angeles but somewhere in the Northeast corner of CA.
CA is where the largest number of Teslas are sold. Not very many in the Northeast Corner.
Highest percentage of Teslas is WA. That is mostly hydropowered.
Biggest foreign market? Norway. 99.6% hydro electricity.
Once other states and countries start buying Teslas that is bound to change. China, for instance.
“In California we generated 201 Gigawatts...”
And imported more than twice that amount from neighboring states.
Hydro comes from the Bonneville Power Administration up north, coal comes from Wyoming. There are many other sources, but California should produce MORE.
