When you look at the electricity sector alone, renewables shine even brighter. Nuclear’s share of electricity generation dropped by 2.8 percent compared to the first nine months of 2010, while coal’s share dropped by 4.2 percent. In the same period, renewables’ share of electricity generation grew almost 25 percent.
The question is: how much of this is attributable to the bans on new nuclear plants implemented by some states and the government’s economic incentives for renewable energy research and implementation?
