Nonrenewable
In 2017, about 89% of the energy consumed in the United States was from non-renewable energy sources, which include uranium ore and fossil fuels—coal, natural gas, and petroleum.
Electricity
The energy sources we use to make electricity can be renewable or non-renewable, but electricity itself is neither renewable nor non-renewable.
Recent Statistics
Energy statistics can answer questions such as How reliant is the United States on imports? and Which renewable fuel do we use most?
Renewable
Renewable energy sources include biomass, which includes biofuels, hydropower, geothermal, wind, and solar. In 2017, about 11% of U.S energy consumption was from renewable energy. Most of renewable energy use is for producing electricity.
Hydrogen
Like electricity, hydrogen is a secondary source of energy. It stores and carries energy produced from other resources (fossil fuels, water, and biomass).
