History of North America

How much fossil fuel is the US using currently?

According to the U.S. Department of Energy's most recent statistics (for 2021), the United States is the world's largest consumer of fossil fuels, accounting for 20% of global energy consumption. Fossil fuels accounted for 79% of total U.S. primary energy consumption in 2021, with petroleum (oil) accounting for 37%, natural gas accounting for 32%, and coal accounting for 10%. Renewable energy sources accounted for 12%, and nuclear power accounted for 9% of total energy consumption.

It's important to note that these statistics may have changed since then due to ongoing shifts in energy consumption patterns and increased efforts to transition to renewable energy sources.
