The graph illustrates the utilization of energy in the USA from 1980 with its expectations up to 2030.
There is an overall increase in the consumption of all energy forms over the given period. With regards to the utilization of natural gas and hydropower, it is predicted to remain steady from the present year until 2030.
The consumption of petrol and oil that started with 35 quadrillion units in 1980 after which it fluctuated, is predicted to rise to almost 50 quadrillion units in 2030. The use of coal is expected to double from nearly 15 to 30 quadrillion units from 1980 to 2030.
On the other hand, for nuclear energy which varied slightly over the past years and reached almost 6 quadrillion units in 2005, it is predicted to maintain stability until 2030. Likewise, for natural gas, solar, and hydropower, their consumption fluctuated from 1980 to 2010 when it reached 25, 5, and 4 quadrillion units respectively and it is expected to plateau for the upcoming 8 years from 2022 to 2030.
