I'm not acquainted with that metric.
ELECTRICITY is approximately 20% of total primary ENERGY. Stating renewable ENERGY, when you mean to say renewable ELECTRICITY, is overstating the percentage contribution of wind and solar (and all of the traditional renewable electricity generation) approximately 5x. As I have stated here dozens of times previously.
.
It may be slightly different now 1 year later but this EIA chart from 2017 shows wind energy in the USA has finally surpassed wood at 2.3 % of total energy.
.
Solar is .66%

Let's keep the discussion true people.
