Found with my energy bill

A nice little "power content label." An online version is here.

I'd be impressed if these changes were real. Personally, I'm not sure I buy it. A footnote included only on my paper copy implies that the 2006 numbers apply only to purchased power, not home-generated, which would make the comparisons useless.

My copy has another footnote under "Large Hydroelectric:"

"A significant amount of the energy generated by PG & E comes from clean, large hydroelectric power stations, which under California law, do not qualify as an eligible renewable resource."

I'm wondering what idiot in Sacramento decided that "large hydroelectric" wasn't really "renewable."
