Renewable energy now accounts for a quarter of the world's power, according to a new global report by REN21.
THE RISE OF RENEWABLES
The days of fossil fuels may finally be numbered. A new report states that renewable energy now accounts for a quarter of the world’s power. REN21 published a global status report for renewables, highlighting that renewable energy was already supplying about 23.7% of global electricity by the end of 2015.
The United Nations included affordable and clean energy as one of the Sustainable Development goals by 2030. The good news is that the world may not have to wait until then. With better access to financing, dedicated policy initiatives by governments, and rapid improvements in a variety renewable technologies, we may hit our goal early.
And the industry shows no signs of slowing. International investment in renewable energy reached $286 billion last year—solar power alone accounted for the largest channel for investments at $161 billion, more than 56% of total new investment in renewable power and fuels. On the hiring front, the number of jobs in the sector rose to about 8.1 million.

Wow, and this isn't suppose to be sustainable and a massive fraud. The right keeps looking dumber by the day. hahaha

What is U.S. electricity generation by energy source? - FAQ - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
What is U.S. electricity generation by energy source?
In 2015, the United States generated about 4 trillion kilowatthours of electricity.1 About 67% of the electricity generated was from fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and petroleum).
Major energy sources and percent share of total U.S. electricity generation in 2015:1
1 Preliminary data; based on generation by utility-scale facilities.
- Coal = 33%
- Natural gas = 33%
- Nuclear = 20%
- Hydropower = 6%
- Other renewables = 7%
- Biomass = 1.6%
- Geothermal = 0.4%
- Solar = 0.6%
- Wind = 4.7%
- Petroleum = 1%
- Other gases = <1%
So, for the US, 13% from renewables.
No, you can try to say what you think others think, all you want. And you are still just stating your own misguided opinion, and nothing of substance.What is U.S. electricity generation by energy source? - FAQ - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

Considering some environmentalists consider the damns and infrastructure needed to create hydroelectric as un-sustainable, I don't know how you can include is under the renewables list.
