This article does not mention geothermal energy in the section on Comparison and interactions with other methods of power generation. Support for development of geothermal energy continues under the Trump administration, unlike solar and wind. Pifvyubjwm (talk) 20:00, 11 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Partly done: I've updated the report, yet I have not removed the highest among all renewable energy technologies since that fact still holds true. Hydroelectricity (1455 GW) is over 50% of the world's renewables, which is 2890 GW. In solidarity, Brynn Who Likes Editing | talk w/ me! 07:51, 24 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
