A quick check on the DOE website shows 95% of power generated in Washington is 0 CO2. And we export it to neighboring states.

Not to mention, power generation has benefits of scale. One stationary 10,000hp engine is more efficient than 10,000 mobile 1hp engines.

My bad this first tab here [1] shows a large consumption of NG but this is apparently not used for electricity generation (tab 3)
