The two pie charts depict the proportions of USA energy sources in 1980 and 1990.
Overall, after ten years, oil remained the greatest source while hydroelectric power comprised a tiny fraction. Moreover, it can be seen that the percentage of most other sources slightly fluctuated.
In 1980, the most popular source of power was oil (42%), followed by natural gas with coal (26% and 22%, respectively). That year, hydroelectric power and nuclear power accounted for the same proportion, with 5%. A decade later, this situation didn’t dramatically alter. Despite a significant drop of nearly 10%, oil still led the way. Coal overtook natural gas and contemporarily became the second famous source of energy in the 3rd biggest country all over the world. Having the same trend as coal, nuclear power’s percentage in the year 1990 was twice greater than that a decade ago. On the other hand, natural gas moderately fell, at exactly a quarter. The most stable figure called hydro energy, by far, made up for the least amount (5%).
