The line chart illustrates the amount of energy that has been consumed since 1980 and predicted until 2030 in the USA.
Overall, 1980-2010 witnessed a few fluctuations in consuming energy. However, until 2030, it is estimated that the usage of coal, petrol, and oil would increase whilst the figures for other types maybe decrease or stabilize.
After some fluctuations between 1980 and 1995, the consumption of petrol and oil went up significantly. Particularly, in 1995, approximately 32. 5 quadrillion units (units) of this was consumed and this figure continued rising to present before projected to reach a pick at 47. 5 units in 2030. This trend is akin to the consumption of coal. In 1995, around 22. 5 units of coal was used that nearly stayed static until 2005; however, this number slightly improved to almost 25 units in 2015 and is expected to climb to 30 units in 2030. Besides, the usage of natural gas underwent the longest period of fluctuation from 1980-2015; however, it is predictable that there would have stability in using this fuel with roughly 22. 5 units until 2030.
Meanwhile, after witnessing an unpredictable trend from 1980 to 2005, using solar/wind and hydropower stayed static at 4 and 2. 5 units, sequentially. These figures are projected not to change till 2030. Also, the figure for nuclear energy increased slightly from 1980-2010 and is estimated to stay constant at about 6 units until 2030
