CA is not doing too bad according to apk919's chart actually:
Natual gas-good,
Hydroelectric- not bad,
Nuclear-no bad,
GeoThermal-sweet,
Wind-awesome,
Biomass-great! 
the top 5 electric power sources all seemed pretty acceptable to me.  |
Those top five are 100%
- the renewables are a subset of the 5th value.

The oil is likely to be small scale remote units (very easy to transport oil). That is why that map would be much more use with icons showing generation capacity of each site
