According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), in 2022 roughly 12% of U.S. primary energy consumption came from renewable sources and about 88% from nonrenewable sources (this nonrenewable total includes fossil fuels plus nuclear). If you separate nuclear, fossil fuels alone supplied about 80% of U.S. primary energy. Shares vary year to year, so check the EIA for the most recent data.
