In this interactive chart, we see the share of primary energy consumption that came from renewable technologies – the combination of hydropower, solar, wind, geothermal, wave, tidal, and modern biofuels. Traditional biomass – which can be an important energy source in lower-income settings is not included.
3 · Transitioning to clean energy protects the fundamental human right to a healthy, safe environment. Air pollution disproportionately harms lower-income communities, especially communities of color, a systemic injustice the U.S. Department of Energy and its Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) are working to correct.
3 · Clean energy and energy efficiency benefit human health (physical and mental) and safety. Clean energy technologies produce almost no harmful emissions—known as greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide—that are linked to numerous health problems. Clean energy also affects environmental health and safety. Learn about the
