How do we get electricity in Austin?

[TheFied]

In Austin, how much electricity is via hydroelectric from LCRA? Ballpark %?

Do we get stuff from windmill farms? Do we do coal?

I assumed that most was from LCRA and hydroelectric but I think that is wrong. I actually have Pedernales Electric but wondering also for City of Austin power.

Natural gas, nuclear, coal, and wind energy plants. You can sign up, if there are still openings, for "green energy," where all your energy comes from the wind farms and the methane generating plant. The rate was a little higher, but guaranteed for several years not to go up when I signed up, so may end up being a less expensive way to go. I signed up my business and home for this program.

I notice that the progressives' movement to pressure the City Council to divest it's South Texas Nuke holdings seems to have petered out.
