The BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2012 is out

http://www.bp.com/sectionbodycopy.do?categoryId=7500&contentId=7068481

According to their figures, last year we dropped 119.4 Terawatt-hours of nuclear power

And we added:

13.8 Terawatt-hours of Geothermal and Biomass
25.8 Terawatt-hours of Solar
89.6 Terawatt-Hours of Wind
55.5 Terawatt-hours of Hydro
716.3 Terawatt-Hours of Fossil Fuel generation
an additional 1 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions

We're not going to save to world at this rate.
