RE: U.S. states can reach grid parity by 2014, energy experts say
"renewables are still a small part of the global market ? roughly 12 percent worldwide ? and just 6.2 percent of the total mix in the U.S."
If 12% of the worldwide market energy market is renewable energy, the figure must include twigs and sticks used for cooking in the third-world.
Millions of women and children spend 2 to 6 hours a day gathering this renewable fuel. These people desperately need sources of reliable energy, even if it is non-renewable.
Thank God the U.S. mix is only 6.2% renewable. Our children can spend
their days in school.
