The US produces mostly fossil fuel energy (84%)
Solar and wind make up just 2.2% of all energy (not just electricity)
Over the past decade, solar and wind increased total energy production by 2.1%
Fossil fuels increased energy production by 27.9%https://t.co/wJeATwJIrw pic.twitter.com/Zg7oebU4mi

The US is mostly run on fossil fuels, also in 2023
82% of all energy (not just electricity) consumed comes from coal, oil and gas
Nuclear is 9%, renewables (mostly biomass) is 9%
Solar and wind contributes 2.5%https://t.co/wJeATwJIrw pic.twitter.com/7xdOrdGGE5

The US, has since 2019, produced more energy than it consumes. And it has never been more energy-independent since WWII. Last time of small energy surpluses was 1957.”
Happy Energy Independence for the United States on 4th of July
