The line graph compares the amount of energy consumed in the USA using six different sources of fuel from 1980 to 2030.
It is clear that petrol and oil are the most important means of consumption of energy over the period shown. Hydropower provided the lowest amount of energy in most of the years.
In 1980, petrol and oil were the main source of energy in USA, consuming at 35 quadrillion units. Coal and natural gas consume around 18 quadrillion units each. Nuclear, solar/wind and hydropower were all consumed around 4 quadrillion units.
Until the projection of 2030, energy consumption from petrol and oil rose dramatically to a peak of 50 quadrillion units. Coal and natural gas were consumed same units in 1985. Nuclear, solar/wind and hydropower all maintained constant, at between 4 to 8 quadrillion units, for the whole period.
In summary, petrol and oil power are the main source of energy. Hydropower consume the least amount.
