andy pandy,
How much carbon is produced from electric power companies that use these sources to generate electricity:
1. Hydro Power
2. Solar
3. Wind
4. Bio Fuels - veg oils & the like
5. And other renewable sources - bio mass (rotting vegetation), geo thermal (steam from the earth), and ocean waves ?

Currently worldwide production of electricity via all renewable sources is 18% & growing.

There are countries that get 86% of their electricity from renewables - e.g. Brazil & several European countries get way over 1/2.
Add to that list nuclear power generation which is about 16%.

Fossil fuels (primarily carbon producing coal) provide 41% of the worldwide electricity - whoops less that 1/2 & it is getting smaller (except in China).

Another 25% comes from some other sources. Had no time to research, as I MUST start working on the list that SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED has delivered to me in a firm tone.
