Just read the constant stream of news about it? They keep shutting down power plants in the name of the environment, but just shift the generation outside of the state. It's a numbers game that's meaningless as long as they still consume power, but it lets them virtue signal all over the place to people who don't pay attention to details - which sadly is most of us. How many times when we are give stats do we really wonder about the context around them?
