No, it's generated by coal plants, nuclear power plants etc etc, all of which are fucking up the planet.

Gasoline powered cars are very inefficient. Less than 10% of the energy in gas is actually converted into motion in a car. The other 90% is lost in excess heat and exhaust which itself contributes to greenhouse gas and other dangerous pollutants. Electricity at this level is much cleaner, cheaper, and spits out no pollution to move it.
Most electricity produced in Canada is Hyrdoelectic, meaning it is produced by water, which is sold to the US. Yes the US Still uses Coal for alot of electric power but this too can change.
Nuclear power is still much safer than coal. Including Japan, there are only 0.04 deaths per Terawatt hour vs Coal's 161 Deaths.
