As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, the correct statement regarding the use of renewable versus nonrenewable resources to produce electricity in the United States is:
b. Currently about 12% of the electricity produced in the United States is derived from RENEWABLE resources while 88% comes from NON-RENEWABLE resources.
It's important to note that the percentages can change as the energy landscape evolves, with ongoing investments and policy changes aimed at increasing the share of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power. However, the majority of electricity generation in the U.S. has historically depended on nonrenewable resources like natural gas, coal, and nuclear power. For the most up-to-date statistics, please refer to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) or other reliable sources.
