Very little, about 3%.

Sources of Electric Power in 2007:

Coal 49.7%
Nuclear 19.3%
Natural Gas 18.7%
Hydroelectric 6.5%
Crude Oil 3%
Other 2.9%

Yes we need to rid ourselves of the burning of fossil fuels, but those that promote solar power as an energy alternative to crude oil deceive us intentionally on our dependance on imported crude oil (OPEC). Crude oil is refined mostly into gasoline, diesel, and various fuel oils. Plastics take 10-15% of imported crude. Very little fuel use contributes to electric power generation. Heating oil in the N.E. will not be replaced by solar power any time soon. Solar power as an alternative to crude oil, is a red herring. ]]> Tue, 19 Feb 2008 01:11:18 -0500
