Oil – 37%
Coal – 25%
Nat Gas – 23%
Nuclear – 6%
Biomass – 4%
Hydro – 3%
Solar Thermal – .5%
Wind – .3%
Geothermal – .2%
Biofuels – .2%
PV Solar – .04%

However, the use of solar and wind is increasing rapidly, so those numbers are almost certainly out of date. Wind is the most rapidly growing source; I’ve read in some places that it now contributes well over 1%.
