Germany is at 30% renewable energy. The US at ~13.

That is nameplate capacity, not actual generation. Big difference.

Either my calculation is wrong, or...

Check the report from Fraunhofer, i.e. slide 85. http://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/en/downloads-englisch/pdf-files...

Produced in August 2014:

Renewable: 12.8 TWh

Rest: 25.8 TWh

Total: 38.6 TWh

% produced renewable: 33% I left the pumped storage in "Rest" as I have no idea what engery was used to pump.
