California's generation of electricity from coal drops dramatically
The LA Times' title for this article is wrong. California does not generate electricity from coal, however, California uses a lot of electricity generated from coal. As the article notes near the end, California uses electricity from coal generated out of state.<p>According to SNL, "at times, as much as 50% of Southern California's electricity still comes from coal-fired plants, Steve Homer, director of project management for the Southern California Public Power Authority, or SCPPA, told SNL Energy."   <a href="https://www.snl.com/InteractiveX/Article.aspx?cdid=A-34113318-14128" rel="nofollow">https://www.snl.com/InteractiveX/Article.aspx?cdid=A-3411331...</a><p>This really is a reminder that the writers of articles frequently do not write the headlines. That's a big reason why titles of articles are frequently misleading.
