A new
posting had mentioned renewable Energy generated in-state in California during
2004 was 10.6%
but adding the Large Hydro(Which is also Green Energy, the figure will be
10.2% + 14.9% = 25.1%)
Just wish to clarify that in the whole, California's energy source is at least
25% from Green Power.
Wind at 1% and the small 0.3% of Solar Power hopefully will be changed by the
new Solar Initiative!

Found the information, it's Direct Energy in Texas, Texas Avg, CA. Avg.(http://www.energy.ca.gov/html/energysources.html)
and (http://www.energy.ca.gov/electricity/gross_system_power.html)
and SCE.
California breakdown represents In-State power for about 80.92%
The other 19.08% are from non-renewable power plants but mainly from Large
Hydro power generation.
12.75% from US SouthWest
6.83% from Pacific N.W.
