    Is that really where your oil comes from? Here in Minnesota, we get ours from Canada.

    Maybe this will help:

    Detroit Edison


    Detroit Edison generates, transmits and distributes electricity to 2.1 million customers in southeastern Michigan. With an 11,084 megawatt system capacity, the company uses coal, nuclear fuel, natural gas, hydroelectric pumped storage and renewable sources to generate its electrical output. Founded in 1903, Detroit Edison is the largest electric utility in Michigan and one of the largest in the nation.
    At 1.1 million kilowatts, the company's Fermi 2 nuclear power plant represents 30% of Michigan's total nuclear generation capacity. This single plant is capable of producing enough electricity to serve a city of about one million people. Fermi 2 has been providing reliable, cost-effective power to Detroit Edison customers for more than 20 years. The plant also has been designated as one of the nation's best-performing nuclear facilities.

    I drove 15.5 miles. All but the last mile was on electric power only, then it ran out. My trip was from home to one of my apartments, Home Depot, then back up the hill to go back home again. If It wasnt for the Home Depot Trip I would've made it in all electric and free!!
    Because the gas engine kicked on for the last mile I averaged 493 MPG. If I had one more mile of electric power I wouldnt have used a drop of that black shit from the middle east! Beat that with ANY production car ever built!
