Most U.S. electricity is generated by large power plants: natural gas-fired plants supply the single largest share (around 35–40%), followed by coal (about 20%), nuclear (roughly 19%), and renewables—primarily wind, hydro, and rapidly growing solar—together contributing around 20% and rising. These proportions shift year to year as renewables expand and fuel use changes.
