The (Annotated) Gore Energy Speech Dot Earth - Climate Change and Sustainability - New York Times Blog
The following amount of electricity, in gigawatt-hours (GWh), was generated from the nation’s fuel mix:
Coal: 2,020,572 GWh
Nuclear: 806,487 GWh
Gas: 893,211 GWh
Hydro: 241,319 GWh
Fuel Oil: 65,708 GWh
Other renewables (geothermal, non-wood waste, wind, and solar): 102,988 GWh
Other: 29,230 GWh
=====
Okay. Those of you who think the Gore speech was wonderful, give us the mix we’ll be using in 2018. You’ve only got 2,913,783 GWh to replace.
