US Energy Breakdown

The following is from US Energy Information Administration.

I think most people assume that renewables are further advanced in the US. It's a pity that the US couldn't go on with renewables after Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the roof of the Whitehouse in the 1970s. (Ronnie Reagan took them down).

Interestingly solar is 1% of 7% = 0.07 %
Obama is now backing nuclear. See "Obama Pushes Nukes to Beat Pollution Crisis"




See http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/ieo/world.html for more statistics on world demand.
