But then I'm a bit of a drama queen
From us-energy-facts link. The bottom 4 bands are all fossil fuels. So, to see the combined total of fossil fuels, look at the top of the light pink band:.
It is interesting that the total fossil fuel production in BTUs (top of the light pink band) was essentially flat from 1970 to 2007, and then very sad that it went sharply up from there.
=========================================================
The above is U.S. production. This one below is U.S. consumption.
As far as I know, the difference (quite a difference in trend!) is exports
At least on the consumption side, fossil fuel consumption in BTUs (top of the light pink band) has marginally declined from a 2007 peak. Though fossil fuels are still a huge 83% of all consumed energy.
The wind and solar total is just 2.6% (it's less than half of the renewables green band).
