Electric power

The New York Governor has banned gas stoves in future developments and this makes some sense since NY State gets all its electric power from non carbon sources, 43% from hydroelectric, 27% from wind and solar and the rest from nuclear. This would also be a good state for EV's. Contrast that with Texas that gets 61% of its energy from coal and natural gas. Texas has two nuclear plants and 40 coal plants. 60% of the time in Texas that you charge your EV you are using power generated from fossil fuels. The point is that EV's make more sense in some areas than others.
