The given charts provides the data about electricity produced in America using both renewable and non-renewable resources between a decade From 2009 to 2019. The electric current produced by renewable resources in one-fifths the amount of current produced by non-exhaustible resources.
In the case of non-renewable sources, the major contribution is from coal followed by natural gas, nuclear energy, renewables and petroleum. Therefore, the coal generated 1756 billion kilowatt-hours in 2009 and decline to 966 billion kilowatt-hours. while, the natural gas produced 921 billion kilowatt-hours and escalated to 1582 billion kilowatt-hours, but the petroleum slightly droped from 57 billion kilowatt-hours in 2009 to 40 billion kilowatt-hour in 2019. The nuclear energy remains significantly in both the years, 799 billion kilowatt-hours in 2009 and 809 billion kilowatt-hours in 2019, meanwhile the renewables gave 437 billion kilowatt-hours and uplifted to 720 billion kilowatt-hours.
The in the case of renewable energy sourse, the wind energy is the major contributor by producing 300 billion kilowatt-hours in 2019 but neglected to use this energy in 2019(94 billion kilowatt-hours).
While, hydroelectricity stayed plateau in 273 billion kilowatt-hours in Both the years. The geothermal soures also nearly sme in the both years, 15 billion kilowatt-hours in 2009 and 16 billion kilowatt-hours in 2019. The plant/animal matter with minimal changes 54 and 58 billion kilowatt-hours in 2009 and 2019 respectively. The solar remained the lowest produced resources of all in 2009, but it rose to 73 billion kilowatt-hours in 2019 and it beats the petroleum, plant/animal matter, geothermal respectively.
