Going electric doesn't do much for air pollution if that electricity comes from a coal burning power plant.

I am a member of the Redwood Coast Energy Authority.

From their website:

"Our electricity is currently sourced primarily from wind, solar, and hydropower from California and the Pacific Northwest, plus local biomass. We are collaborating with various other entities to create new sources of energy and long-term contracts, like offshore wind, that will continue to expand the capacity and stability of our local and state grid."

RCEA's power procurement is guided by the following goals:

100% renewable & carbon-free electricity by 2025 (Board resolution adopted in 2019)
100% of the county's electricity needs met by local renewable resources by 2030 (Board goal adopted in 2016)
65% of State-mandated renewable procurement under long term contracts of 10+ years by the 2021-2024 Renewable Portfolio Standard compliance period (State's SB 350 requirement)

Of course this is Northern California. We are way ahead of the power curve than most. You may not have this choice yet.

Good luck wherever you are.
