What are the safest and cleanest sources of energy?

This comparison is misguided: the uncertainties around these values mean they are likely to overlap. The key insight is that they are all much, much safer than fossil fuels. Nuclear energy, for example, results in 99.9% fewer deaths than brown coal; 99.8% fewer than coal; 99.7% fewer than oil; and 97.6% fewer than gas.

Renewable Energy

Renewable energy is the fastest-growing energy source globally and in the United States. Globally: About 11.2 percent of the energy consumed globally for heating, power, and transportation came from modern renewables in 2019 (i.e., biomass, geothermal, solar, hydro, wind, and biofuels), up from 8.7 percent a decade prior (see figure below).
