My house and the area is powered by the massive Path 46 power line. It spans states/countries. There is a nuclear power plant relatively close that powers it, but it's also powered by hydroelectric, biomass, wind, and I'm sure every other variant out there.
Nice, quite a massive connection there.[shocked]
Haha, this is pretty funny. I work for a bank and finance loans for electric utilities companies. The power grid really mixes all power together. The closest generating facility to me is Astoria Generating which is a natural gas-fired plant. Surprised so many people say hydro or nuclear, although I guess those plants stick out more than the oil or gas plants which tend to be much smaller.
Closest is natural gas, but the UK power grid is pretty compact and complicated with the cities so close to each other, you don't know where the actual current is from. Bigger cities will leech power from smaller cities to maintain power when needed.
Don't know, don't care. As has been said, it's a mix...and I don't care enough to look into what goes into that mix.

Where's the "Chuck Norris" option?
my house is powered by my own malevolence
She does or she gets the hose again.
