Fossil fuel production has grown, largely due to a 69% increase in natural gas production since 1980 despite an 18% decrease in coal production. Nuclear and renewable energy production has increased 147% since 1980 and now makes up 21% of energy production.

However, it has increased from 2017.

Fossil fuels (petroleum, natural gas, and coal) continue to account for 80% of our energy consumption.

In 2017, the US made up 14% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions and emitted more metric tons of carbon dioxide (5.1 billion metric tons) than any country in the world other than China (10.4 billion metric tons).

We import 25% of the energy we consume; in 1980 we imported 20%.

The 2000s averaged six per year.

That's 2% higher than the annual average in the 2000s, and more than twice the annual average in the 1990s.
