According to Wikipedia, in 2009, this is the breakdown of all elect power sources.
Coal fired plants... 44.9 percent
Natural gas fired... 23.4 percent
Nuclear power plants... 20.3 percent
Hydroelectric sources... 6.9 percent
Solar panels and wind mills... 3.6 percent
Petroleum power plants... 1 percent
..... Total, 100 percent
Since all are still growing, the proportion ratio should stay pretty much the same (solar and windmill power have yet to be added to a power grid)
