The charts give information about the electricity produced in the United States from renewable and non-renewable energy in the years 2009 and 2019. The amount of electricity that is generated is measured in billion kilowatt-hours unit. Electricity generated in the US from renewable and non-renewable energy sources are compared in the years 2009 and 2019.
Overall, the amount of electricity generated using non-renewables is comparatively higher than the energy generated using renewables on both years. While the maximum electricity generated in 2019 using wind, a renewable energy source is 300 billion kilowatt-hours, coal, a non-renewable energy resource has generated 1756 billion kilowatt-hours.
The electricity generated in 2019 using non-renewable energy resources such as renewables, nuclear and natural gas has increased when compared to the energy generated in 2009. On the other hand, the energy produced from petroleum and coal has decreased.
The renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, plant/animal matter and hydroelectric have not shown any decrease in the generation of energy in 2019 when compared to 2009. The energy generated using hydroelectric however has neither increased nor decreased in both the years.
