The Role of Renewable Energy Consumption
in the Nation’s Energy Supply, 2007

Figure 1 is an exploding pie chart that shows renewable energy made up 7 percent of total U.S. energy consumption.  Of that 53 percent was from biomass energy, 36 percent from hydroelectric, 5 percent from geothermal, 5 percent from wind and 1 percent from solar
