This data seems wrong. I'm looking at Nevada and they state that the majority of the power being generated is by gas. Doesn't the Nevada area get power from a wide array of nuclear + the Hoover Dam? To be fair it does say that at the time of access the data is an estimate but still...
Nevada has no nuclear power plants, and gas accounts for 56% of its power. The Hoover Dam only provides about 4% of the state's energy. Partly because the power from the Hoover Dam is split up between the surrounding states, and Las Vegas only gets about a quarter of it.
This deserves its own post on HN because this is really neat.
