The following data illustrates the electricity generation using renewable and none-renewable energy in the United States in 2009 and 2019.
Overall, we can see there is a dramatic decline in the electricity generation using non-renewable energies, as well as increase in popularity of using renewable energies such as natural gas and others.
The first graph, shows us the general view of US electricity generation from 2009 to 2019. There is no major shifts for petroleum and nuclear energy. Petroleum energy usage slightly decreased from 57 billion kilowatt-hours in 2009 to 40 billion kilowatt-hours in 2019. Nuclear has increased a tiny bit, from 799 billion kilowatt-hours in 2009 to 809 billion kilowatt-hours in 2019. The major changes can be observed for renewables, natural gas and coal. Renewables increased almost two fold from 437 billion kilowatt-hours to 720 billion kilowatt-hours. Natural gas rose from 921 to 1582 billion kilowatt-hours. And lastly, coal has decreased from 1756 to 966 billion kilowatt-hours.
The second graph, gives us an idea of electricity generation by renewables over the decade. Major changes can be seen for wind and solar energy. Wherein wind energy has increased almost 4 fold in 2019, from 94 billion kilowatt-hours to 300 billion kilowatt-hours, similarly, solar energy has increased 7 fold, from 1 billion kilowatt-hours to 73 billion kilowatt-hours. Geothermal, plant/animal matter have only increased slightly over the decade. Hydroelectric energy on the other hand has remained the same throughout.
