it comes from the utilities who are going green, so its a green solution, unless its a utility back east who has an old, fully amortized coal facility. For the older plants, there is some progress in cleaner burning coal, but not enough to really make an electric car a really huge win. On the west coast - there are not many coal plants. A lot of the utilities are pretty green already, not totally but getting there. So electrics in the west are a big green win.

Green or not though, electricity gets us off the foreign oil treadmill (US has the largest deposits of coal last I looked) so its still a win

Coal and NG initially. Add solar-thermal later (in 2014-2025).
