The graph provides us the details about the usage of energy generated by six different fuels in America. It provides us the past historical data from 1980 and predicts the consumption till 2030.
Firstly, petrol is the major source of fuel for generating power in the past and also in the future. 35 quadrillion units of electricity are generated by petrol and oil in 1980 and it is estimated that around 50 quadrillion units will be generated in 2030. Natural gas was the second highest used fuel in 1980 whereas in 2030 it is forecasted that coal will overtake gas as the next major fuel after petroleum.
Nuclear and solar/wind power is gradually growing. On the flipside, hydropower is dipping after 1995. In 1980, Nuclear and renewable energy power generation was below 5 quadrillion units and it is expected to rise above 5 Quadrillion units in 2030.
Overall, Petrol, coal keeps climbing over the period and natural gas usage became constant after reaching 25 units in 2015. Nuclear power has growth at present compared to the past and will have growth in the future too. Solar and wind power fluctuated sporadically.
