The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a member of the BlueGreen Alliance, last week released a scorecard ranking the use of renewable energy in the G20 countries, and it doesn’t make the United States looks good.

Looking at the percentage of energy that comes from renewable sources, America ranked in seventh place, and when looking at the amount of growth in renewable energy production since 2002, the United States ranked eleventh (although the report does credit us with a 341 percent increase).

7th and 11th place? Is that really where we America wants to rank?
