Depends where you are; my utility doesn't use coal, and is at 20% renewable.

"doing more damage to Mother Earth than the ignorant redneck "

TIR is the worst; even beat Texas.

According to Tesla’s own emissions calculator, if you’re driving your Model S in West Virginia — where the power mix is 96 percent coal — you’re spewing some 27 pounds of CO2 in a typical 40-mile day, which is comparable to the amount you’d emit in a conventional Honda Accord. Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio aren’t much better. On the other hand, if you’re charging your Tesla in California, where natural gas supplies more than half the electricity — or, better yet, Idaho or Washington, where hydroelectricity reigns – your per-mile emissions are a fraction of that amount. Congratulations: Your Model S is a clean machine after all.
