I looked at your source, and it includes hydropower as a renewable source of energy. I'm not going to argue that we'll run out of gravity to pull water through turbines, but the gigantic dams that come with hydropower are hardly something that the Sierra Club and their kind get excited about.
So if we present your numbers honestly without inflating the "green" sounding category, we find that 4.4% of power comes from wind, and 0.3% of energy comes from solar. If turnabout is fair play, it's only 4.7% correct to call the Tesla solar & wind powered (rounding up).
Let's use the best energy source (for transportation) that we have access to. I want to live fully today, rather than bang my head against time and try to live in the future before it is time.
Public utilities (and any other kind of government sanctioned/protected monopoly) are a terrible idea. Any other kind of monopoly has pressure to stay ahead, but government backed monopolies don't sort themselves out. The person who compromised the electric system are those who made utilities public.
