In 2005 renewable energy made up 7% of the United States energy supply according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA). This segment was comprised mostly of biomass (50%) and hydroelectric (41%) with solar, wind and geothermal making up the remainder. Silicon solar provides books discussing how to incorporate these systems into personal homes.
