The following chart illustrates about the electricity generated using renewable energy and non renewable energy in USA in 2009 and 2019.
Overall, the US electricity generation by renewables in 2009 and in 2019 was 437 and 720 billion kilowatt-hour. While the electricity generation of US by other sources such as petroleum was less than the renewables. The other sources such as nuclear, natural gas and coal was generating electricity higher than the renewable sources. Among the renewable energy the wind was producing more electricity in 2019 as compared to 2009.
Among the non-renewables the electricity generated by petroleum was 57 b/k/w per hr in 2009 and 40 b/k/w/ per hr in 2019.The nuclear energy was generating 799 and 809 b/k/w per hr in 2009 and in 2019. Furthermore , the natural gas and coal was the non -renewables contributing more towards the electricity generation as compared to other sources such as 921, 1582,1756 and 966 b/k/w per hr in 2009 and in 2019 .
Although the renewables sources such as solar has contributed only 1 b/k/w per hr in 2009 while in 2019 it has contributed near about 73 b/k/w per hr . The wind has generated 94 and 300 b/kw/hr in 2009 and in 2019 . Moreover , the hydroelectric energy was contributing 273 b/k/w/hr in 2009 as well in 2019 . The geothermal and plant/animal matter was generating energy within 15 to 58 b/k/w /hr .
