The graph below gives information from a 2008 report about consumption of energy in the USA since 1980 with projections until 2030.

The graph below gives information from a 2008 report about consumption of energy in the USA since 1980 with projections until 2030. R1Q8

The line graph compares US energy consumption from 1980 to 2020, and projected use until 2030 by 6 different types of fuel: petrol and oil, coal, natural gas, nuclear, solar and hydropower. Overall, petrol and oil are the most common source of energy and are likely to constantly rise in the future. Nuclear and renewable power have accounted for a small and insignificant proportion of total fuel usage and are expected to continue to do so for 2030. In 1980; 35 quadrillions was used from petrol and oil, climbing to 43 quadrillions in 2020. This is estimated to increase at 48 quadrillions in 2030. The amount of energy consumed for coal and natural gas were 16 quadrillions and 20 quadrillions respectively in 1980. However, gas experienced an initial fall and coal showed a gradual rise. Coal is predicted to rocket at 30 quadrillions in 2030. Gas is projected at 25 quadrillion after having fluctuated since 1990. The year 1980 saw an equal rise among nuclear, solar or wind, and hydropower energy at about 4 quadrillions and are likely to remain stable in 2030.
