The graph shows data from 1980 with forecasts up to 2030 on the US population’s energy consumption.
Generally, in 1980, petrol and oil were the dominant energy sources, while nuclear, solar, wind and hydropower were the least utilized fuels. Additionally, in 2030, gasoline and oil are forecasted to remain the leading sources of energy, whereas hydropower is predicted to take the bottom-most position.
Over a 28-year period, starting at 1980, petrol and oil rose in consumption from 35 quadrillion units to about 40 quadrillion units. Coal and natural gas performed similarly, as both increased from around 17 quadrillion units and 20 quadrillion units, respectively, to about 23 quadrillion units. During the same period, nuclear energy gradually climbed from nearly three quadrillion units to seven quadrillion units, while solar, wind and hydropower fuels remained static at approximately three quadrillion units.
Over the duration of the forecasts, ranging from 2008 to 2030, petrol and oil consumption are expected to elevate up to 48 quadrillion units. Coal and natural gas are estimated to increase up to about 32 quadrillion units and 25 quadrillion units, respectively. Finally, nuclear, solar, wind, and hydropower energy will stay nearly constant throughout the projected period.
