Why are you assuming other renewables is mostly waste/biomass? In the notes below the table, wind is cleary mentioned. My guesstimate would be that wind was a large proportion. I confirmed by checking wikipedia.

EIA Total for year was listed as 4,177,810 in 1000s of MWhr Other Renewables 354,445 in 1000s of MWhr

From wikepedia - national trends section graph https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power_in_the_United_State...

2018 Wind power generated 274,962 in 1000s of MWhr. So makes up over 75% of other renewables. Chart shows wind has grown from 94,000 in 2009. Which combining with the EIA data, showing 143,388 in 2009, means most of the growth in non-solar renewables is from wind.
