A Supercharging Milestone

Are there any stats on where each supercharging station receives its power? Things like the percentage of power supplied to the supercharging station by fossil fuels.

They are currently all grid-powered, but the long-term plan is to install solar canopies at all locations (provided by Elon's other company, SolarCity) to offset the power usage. They even plan on making it a profit center for the business eventually.

I assume you're wondering the same thing I am, are they taking into account the Co2 created at the source?

Either way, they're ahead of the game, but I'd just like to know how they got their Co2 measurements.
