The line graph depicts the percentage of renewable energy consumption making up for the total energy in 6 Western countries over a 35-year period.
It is clear that Finland held a dominant position of using green power in comparison with 5 other countries, while the UK’s utilization of alternative energy was the lowest between 1971 and 2006. Moreover, all six nations witnessed a slight increase by the end of the period.
In 1971, Finland’s renewable energy consumption accounted for a quarter of its national total energy, followed by 9% of the figure for France. During the next years, the two countries witnessed the equivalent fluctuated trends and stood at 23% and 7% respectively by the end of the period.
The green energy using by the US, Germany, Denmark and the UK in 1971 were marginally different, ranging from 3% to 1%. In the next 10 years, while 3 former nations followed an upward trend to just under 5%, there was a drop in the figure for the latter one. Germany continued growing its figure and reached a peak at 5% in 1996 before experiencing a decline to 3% in the final year. By 2006, the ratio of alternative energy consumption of the US, the UK and Denmark fluctuated and stood at 10% collectively.
