The past decade in Utah with natural gas and renewables taking close to 50% of Utah’s electricity generation. Coal used to represent over 75% of electricity not many years ago. If current trends accelerate, electric cars will significantly reduce pollution and emissions. This will have a huge impact in a place where the combination of pollution / inversion really takes a toll on health.

Seems like we are moving in a really good direction with electric cars…especially in Utah.

“In 2022, coal fueled 53% of Utah's total electricity net generation, down from 75% in 2015, and natural gas accounted for 26%. Almost all of the rest of Utah's in-state electricity generation came from renewable energy sources, primarily solar power.69 Solar energy powers about 93% of Utah's new electric generating capacity since 2015.70 While the state does not generate any electricity from nuclear energy, plans for a nuclear power plant near Green River, Utah have been proposed since 2007.71,72 A Utah municipal electric cooperative also plans to build a nuclear power station with six small reactors in Idaho to supply power to its Utah customers by 2030”
