I don't know much about how electricity is made around the county but here in Hawaii %99.9 of it is by the use of oil. Thank you for the illustration, it really helps me to understand. Aloha

Hawaii is developing quite a bit of wind energy, which makes sense for that area given the cost of importing diesel. What are retail rates there, something like 40 cents/kwh?

Actually Hawaii is 90% Petroleum. Y'all are just messing up the curve for the rest of us. I guess ease of transportation is the main reason. I would have thought you used more coal however. I feel sorry for what your electric bills must be doing.

For more than you want to know, 10 years of data for each state and type of producer and type of fuel:
