What % of electricity do you think is produced with coal in California? Nation wide?

Nationwide, coal makes up 63%. I think Cali mostly uses natural gas.

Nah bro it's about 25% which is still a national embarrassment. For the richest nation in the world you guys are pretty backwards about somethings.

I never really thought about it but World War 2 battle in Europe from Russia to France basically took place from the West Coast to Denver in the US. That is only about a 20 hour drive. Maybe 15 if you could go straight. It took me about 20 hours to get to Denver driving straight as an arrow from Indiana/ Illinois border. Never mind maybe another 15 to 20 hour drive to get from the Indiana/ Illinois border to the East Coast.

We do not have the same products, natural resources, weather, geography and even the same accents among other things. You are only influences by parts of America that have great wealth because they have international products. The rest of America is nothing like the California Coastal elites. Heck, the central valley is not the same as the coast never mind being 30 hours into the middle of the country.

‘Scuse me. 63% is the make up of all fossil fuels together. They’re still coal cars to me though. Natural gas cars is too long to type.

I do excuse you for being loose with the facts, clearly 63% of electricity doesn't come from coal like you stated. And 63% of your electricity coming from fossil fuels is terrible for a first world nation.
