Fossil fuels are meeting the vast majority of energy consumption in the U.S. Petroleum met 35.75% of the energy consumption in 2022 in the U.S. while natural gas was 33.3% and coal at 9.8%. Wind was at 3.8% and solar was 1.9%. Long Duration Energy storage is another option to help provide energy when renewable energy is lacking.
