Here (central CO) our energy supply is 33% renewable (increasing each year), 35% coal (phasing out, target 2030, NM coal plants we drew from already phased out back in 2020), 18% natural gas/oil, and 14% produced by others (no direct control). The benefit of shifting the energy from gas cars to electric is that as the grid converts to increasingly focus on renewables the overall emissions drop. Many people here are also putting in rooftop solar (this is a very sunny area, even through the winter though obviously with shorter days).
