Look at the pie chart.

Which one?

The one that shows renewables only providing 10% of the "2010 World
Marketed Energy Use"? Yes it's above nuke but still less than half
each of coal/gas/oil which make up 84% together.

Or the "World Share of Primary Energy" that shows 64 % fossil, 18%
hydro, 17% nuclear, 4% renewable.

the trick there is to lump hydro in with 'renewables'

Non hydro renewables are barely contributing anything, and certainly
have resulted in little or no emissions savings.

hydro has been around a long time, and nearly all the best sites are
already taken.
