I have a solution to this just need to figure out my forks...

If i recall, `regional_aggregation: 'US'` does not work, but I believe I had pulled this off before with this commit: https://github.com/bl-young/ElectricityLCI/commit/8ce5b93b9280585766f01606cdb41a6983e52f5b But it's likely outdated now and wasn't tested thoroughly.

FYI this is what I am aiming for:  (Note, I'm less concerned with the consumption mix and capturing potential imports from Canada). The changes I made in the commit...

> The other benefit of doing it that way was being able to see the share of the US consumption mix from the various BAAs. setting `regional_aggregation: "BA"` does that...

> Proposal Yes I think that makes sense. That US consumption mix also will include some electricity inputs from imports right? (e.g. HydroQuebec). Not sure how that's going to impact...

When I look at eGRID 2022 generation mix [here](https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2024-01/egrid2022_summary_tables.pdf), it looks like their estimate of NG is quite a bit higher, nearly 40%. While each of coal, wind, and nuclear...

Are you expecting to validate the results of this generation mix with any existing piece of the U.S. baseline? I guess I'm asking how important it is to have this...

I haven't checked to see if anything has changed, my guess would be its still an issue. I don't recall the exact genesis of this.
