west virginia (90.8%). That's more than actual coal producing states like Wyoming (73.3%), Pennsylvania (12.2%), Illinois (23.9%) Montana (43.2%) and Kentucky (70.7%).

Only 5.5% of MO energy comes from nuclear. I assume all from the plant near Jeff City.

Only 2.4% from hydro, which kind of surprises me considering we have several decent sized hydroelectric plants.

0.2% solar and 8.5% wind. Those surprise me too.

If we're all going to be having gay sex in the back of electric cars here soon, we need to get this **** straightened out.
