(CNSNews.com) - Solar power, which President Barack Obama promoted in his State of the Union Address, accounted for 0.2 percent of the U.S. electricity supply in the first nine months of 2013, according to data published by the U.S. government's Energy Information Administration.
That is up from the 0.02 percent of the total electricity supply that solar power sources provided in 2008, the last calendar year before Obama took office.
“Now, one of the biggest factors in bringing more jobs back is our commitment to American energy,” Obama said in the State of the Union. “The all-of-the-above energy strategy I announced a few years ago is working, and today, America is closer to energy independence than we've been in decades.”

Coal is 80% nat gas is 19.8 shows how crazy Obama and his kook liberal followers are.
The liberals have their money invested heavily in green energy which is why they demonize any other form.It's not about saving the planet it's about cash.
He's a real comedian.
And it will never pay for itself in 10 lifetimes
um, thats up 10 fold.
127 I'm pretty sure before nat. gas hit it big (recall extraction and transport techniques weren't always that easy) there was some wahoo saying the same thing as you.
So, wind and tidal generation is less than this? What is the total green energy? I'm seeing numbers much less than 3% for the country including wind, solar, and geothermal.
Not ready for prime time.
Need to kill more birds!
I don't believe ANYTHING this administration's agencies say.., least of all something involving the environment. I'll need concrete proof, not just some "data published by the U.S. government's Energy Information Administration."
