Energy sources
There are a number of different energy sources available. Some are renewable and some are not.
Renewable sources include:
wind energy (wind turbines)
water energy, such as wave machines, tidal barrages and hydroelectric power
geothermal energy
solar energy (Photovoltaics (PV), Solar Heating (SH))
Non-renewable sources include:
fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas
nuclear fuels, such as uranium

Energy production and consumption in the United States in 2018
The units are trillion British thermal units. All data is sourced from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The breakdown of energy usage per sector is an estimation gathered on EIA's website here. Minor inconsistencies are from rounding and only looking at primary energy (not accounting for system losses).
This was made using Sankeymatic.

Coal was rapidly phased out of the UK electrical system. which I thought was interesting.

Primary v. Secondary Energy Sources
Primary v. Secondary Energy Sources
Primary energy consists of unconverted or original fuels. For example, primary energy sources include petroleum, natural gas, coal, biomass, flowing water, wind, and solar radiation. Those are the fuels that can be mined, reaped, extracted, harvested, or harnessed directly.
Secondary energy includes resources that have been converted or stored. Secondary energy cannot be harnessed directly from nature; rather, secondary energy is energy that has already been converted.
