This will resolve based on data from the Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy (or the best equivalent source if not available), as currently reported here. The most recent available figure is 22.52% in 2022.

Clarification for pedants: this will resolve based only on present/future data. Presenting evidence that, actually, most electricity was supplied by hydropower in 1882 will not cause a "before 2030" resolution.

FWIW EIA projects only 44% renewable by 2050 https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=51698. This seems pessimistic to me and discounts the possibility of a much faster solar+battery takeoff.

EIA projects that renewable generation will supply 44% of U.S. electricity by 2050
