**Pie Chart Breakdown:**
- **Petroleum:** 37%
- **Natural Gas:** 29%
- **Coal:** 14%
- **Renewable Energy:** 11%
- **Nuclear Electric Power:** 9%

**Alternative Energy Sources (Bar Chart):**
Total = 11.0 quadrillion Btu, broken down as follows:
- **Geothermal:** 2%
- **Solar:** 6%
- **Wind:** 21%
- **Biomass Waste:** 4%
- **Biofuels:** 21%
- **Wood:** 19%
- **Hydroelectric:** 25%

**Questions:**
1. What percentage of energy is produced by fossil fuels?
   - **Total from Fossil Fuels:** Petroleum (37%) + Natural Gas (29%) + Coal (14%) = **80%**

2. What percentage of energy is produced by energy technologies?
   - **Energy Technologies:** Nuclear Electric Power (9%)

3. How much energy is produced by all alternative energy combined?
   - **Alternative Energy Total:** Renewable Energy (11%) which is broken down in the bar chart as described.
