It depends on where you are. About 20% of power in California comes from renewable sources and that number is increasing daily. It's not good enough, of course, but at least it's headed in the right direction. Overall in the US, as of 2007, about 7% of US power is renewable (biomass, hydroelectric, wind, geothermal, and solar).
