Oil and coal are solar, too, just more inefficient processes to get at that solar energy.
Since summer 2012 the majority of our electricity comes from the wind farm north of town, an arrangement negotiated by the city. This doesn't show up on the regional map tool. I'm guessing an electric car here would be on the very low end of carbon emissions, but I can't afford a Tesla and a Leaf doesn't have enough range for my commute.
