What percent of US electricity is produced by alternative means?

I am never sure what is meant by 'alternative energy'. Does it include nuclear and hydro for example? The best I can do is give a breakdown as follows,(for 2006) and you can decide what you call the alternatives.
Coal + oil + natural gas 70.8 percent. Hydro 7.0 percent. Nuclear 19.4 percent. Wind 0.7 percent. Solar 0.1 percent. Incinerators 0.3 percent. Geothermal 0.3 percent. Biomass 1.3 percent.
I expect wind and solar are now a little higher than in 2006

Why do you save electricity?
In this context, to save electricity is "not to use it" rather than to "save it somewhere safe". The primary reason for consumers is that by not using electricity, you will not have to pay for it. The secondary reason is that if we, as consumers, use less electricity then the suppliers will not have to produce so much either which, in turn, means that less greenhouse gases will be produced at electricity generating stations.
