Do you know how US fares in that regard?
- Para2016 9y agoLess coal, more natural gas

Quick summary: about 34% natural gas, 30% coal, 20% nuclear, 15% renewables, 1% other. Coal is on a pretty strong downward trend so expect that number to go down, and others to go up. Of course, it's a big country so your local power generation is probably more relevant.
