Maybe in the future, but right now you're driving a car fueled 26% by coal (according to Minnesota's electricity sources). In China about a quarter of all new cars are EVs. That's a lot of coal cars.

A couple years ago, I enrolled in Centerpoint's program to purchase only renewable electricity, both at home and at work. It costs a little more (15%?) but I'm not burning any coal.

On the way from NY to Maine, I stopped to see our customer Zootsuit. Alan has been a customer for a couple of decades, but we'd never met. I was treated to a gyro in Manchester, NH.
Thanks again, Alan!
