EIA data shows wind & solar provide only 3.2% of U.S. 2016 energy
by Larry Hamlin
A recent EIA report on energy production shows that
wind and solar despite receiving tens of billions in government subsidies
provided only 3.2% of U.S. energy in year 2016.
The EIA energy data shows that
fossil, nuclear and hydro provided more than 90% of 2016 U.S. energy production with rising petroleum and natural gas use while coal use is declining.
While the mainstream media continues to hype the role of decades long heavily government subsidized renewable energy the reality of U.S. and
global energy use continues to be highly dependent upon fossil, nuclear and hydro energy resources.
