I haven't had a chance to read the linked article carefully yet, but there appear to be a number of interesting story lines.
For now: a table at the linked article provides data on various sources of electric generation measured in billions of kilowatt hours of electricity:
| 2006 | 2012E | |
|---|---|---|
| Coal | 1,991 | 1,484 |
| Natural Gas | 816 | 1,316 |
| Wind | 27 | 140 |
| Nuclear | 787 | 790 |
The data alone provides some insight where we've been and where we might be headed. For example, I don't see solar mentioned.
