National Electricity Predictions

The Energy Information Administration of DOE collects data and makes predictions. Here are some recent results:

Percentage of Electricity Production:

2008, 2030

Coal 49,47
Natural Gas 21, 20
Nulcear 20 18,
Renewables 8, 14

The percentage of renewables breaks down as follows approx.)

Wind 1, 2.5
Biomass 1, 4.5
Hydro 6, 7
Solar tiny, tiny

Basically a slow decline in traditional sources anda rapid rise in renewables. However, they predict that toal usage will rise from 16 to 36 %. In other words, we lose badly to global warming.
