Renewable energies and environment

From greenjobs.com

Renewable energy meets about 13% of global energy demand and 6% in the USA. Of the 13%, nearly 80% comes from biomass, which mainly relates to non-commercial uses in Asia. Hydropower is the second largest renewable power with a market share of 2.3%. Geothermal, wind and solar energy provide the remainder.
