Gotcha.

Wisconsin only has a tiny fraction of hydro power. Mostly natural gas, followed by coal:

We have solar on our roof, though obviously that's very limited in the winter.

yeah the reason we call it hydro here is because it connects to hydro dams which we have alot of, but we also have alot of natural gas and then some nuclear reactors as well (Im not far from one)
