As Good’s Sarah Laskow reports, when you focus on electricity generation, in particular, renewables’ progress is even more impressive.
When you look at the electricity sector alone, renewables shine even brighter. Nuclear’s share of electricity generation dropped by 2.8 percent compared to the first nine months of 2010, while coal’s share dropped by 4.2 percent. In the same period, renewables’ share of electricity generation grew almost 25 percent.
