Hi Elroy - Not much US electricty comes from oil today - it coal, hydro, nuke and natural gas. Quehubo or Doug Fant could supply details and forecasts.

We have plenty of coal long term (outside of the current PRB railroad issues).

Nuke and Hydro aren't overstretched.

So the plug in hybrid will actual will make sense and displace oil imports.

I pay a 1% premium on my electric bill to get 100% of my power usage equivalent from renewable sources. That isn't much of a premium. What if this "green power option" became cheaper than energy produced by nonrenewable resources?
