Happy to live in CA, which leads the country in renewable energy (and most everything else of any significance).

https://www.eia.gov/state/analysis.php?sid=CA

Some facts from this government site:

Per capita residential energy use in California is lower than that of any other state except Hawaii.

Renewable resources, including hydropower and small-scale (less than 1-megawatt), customer-sited solar photovoltaics (PV), supplied almost half of California's in-state electricity generation in 2018. (No doubt more than half in 2020).

California is the top producer of electricity from solar, geothermal, and biomass energy in the nation.

The Geysers in northern California is the largest complex of geothermal power plants in the world.

California does not have any coal reserves or production and has phased out almost all use of coal for electricity generation. In 2018, coal fueled less than 0.2% of the in-state utility-scale net generation, and all of that power was generated at industrial facilities
