According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, coal was responsible for the majority (23.4 quadrillion BTUs) of electricity generation in the United States in 2020. It is followed by natural gas (11.6 quadrillion BTUs), nuclear (8.5 quadrillion BTUs), and renewable energy sources (mainly hydropower, wind, and solar) (12.1 quadrillion BTUs). Oil only accounted for a small fraction (0.5 quadrillion BTUs) of electricity generation in the same year. Therefore, coal is the most widely used system to generate electricity in the United States today.
