I would guess not. But the important parts are 1) we are trending towards more & more renewable energy sources as the statistics show, so while it may be 11-12% today, that # is going in the right direction - up. 2) the combination of several things, including using alt energy is what has separated the gdp and oil consumption link. We are becoming a much more efficient 'Merica, fuck yah!
