No, I have solar panels on my roof, it will be powered for free by the sun.

There's not a lot of coal here in California. There aren't any coal mines, it would have to be brought in by rail or truck. And that wind farm about 25 miles away in Rio Vista I'm sure provides a lot of the power for my area. So while your statement may be true for some areas of the nation, it's not true everywhere.
