The majority of electricity is generated by burning hydrocarbons to turn generators, but a few well tuned centralized power stations are less polluting than millions of out of tune vehicles. Diesel, natural gas, gasoline. But I don't buy "clean coal." That's just an attempt to save the economies and jobs of high coal states. We need to find processes to make non- burned products from coal, or we need to leave it in the ground.
