Reply #8: You (in Wash. DC) get power from many sources.

Mainly there are coal fired plants in south DC along the Anacostia River, much closer and with much less loss than anything from Ohio. They are old, dirty plants which would be great candidates for replacement even if it were by 'cleaner coal' plants. (I wish the term was 'cleaner' coal rather than 'clean.' Much more accurate.)

Some of your power comes from other coal plants along the Potomac further north. And a small amount of your power comes from the nuclear plants at Calvert Cliffs. Those are closer than Ohio too.

But, if you must create talking points against EV's, might as well look at the losses due to pulling power from California. Makes almost as much sense as Ohio.
