Overall
, although
having been used globally in 2010, our reliance on renewable energy
still needs to be increased compared to the considerable expenditure on fossil fuels.
Considering its 39% contribution, petroleum was the largest segment of all energy
used in 2010, followed by almost a quarter of natural gas during the same period. Having accounted for only 22%, coal was the least among all the unclean energies provided in the pie chart.
In terms of green energy
, in 2010, nuclear power made up 8% of the total energy
consumed by the world. It is 1% higher than renewable energy
. Biomass and hydropower were the top two of all renewable energies depicted in the figure, with 53% and 36% contributions, respectively. On the other hand
, geothermal, solar cells, and wind only supply below 10% of 7% renewable power throughout the year.Submitted by rocky_dillak on
