Depends on where you live. In West Virginia? No, it's almost all coal based.

In Vermont? Yes, their grid is 100% renewable.

The electricity required to refine a gallon of gas is 6kW, so add that into the equation on what I'm not responsible for emitting.

ICE vehicles are doing double duty on emissions but nobody's paying attention.
