USA produces mostly fossil fuel energy, 84% – Solar & wind make up just 2.2% of all energy – Over the past decade, solar & wind increased total energy production by 2.1% compared to fossil fuels increase at 27.9%
Bjorn Lomborg: " The US produces mostly fossil fuel energy (84%). Solar and wind make up just 2.2% of all energy (not just electricity). Over the past decade, solar and wind increased total energy production by 2.1%. Fossil fuels increased energy production by 27.9%. The US is mostly run on fossil fuels, also in 2023. 82% of all energy (not just electricity) consumed comes from coal, oil and gas. Nuclear is 9%, renewables (mostly biomass) is 9%. Solar and wind contributes 2.5%. The US, has since 2019, produced more energy than it consumes. And it has never been more energy-independent since WWII. Last time of small energy surpluses was 1957."
