These two graphs depict the proportion of

energy

sources consumed in the United

Kingdom

and the United States in 2000 and 2006. In general, the two countries used more

oil

, coal, and

gas

energy

than the others.

Furthermore

, the United

Kingdom

tended to utilize less

energy

than the United States. As can be seen from the chart, the proportion of

oil

in America was far larger in 2000, at 48%, than in the United

Kingdom

with 38%.

In contrast

, dramatic reductions in other renewable sources, which accounted for around 10% of America and 8% of the UK in the same year, were far less prevalent than those in coal,

gas

, and nuclear power. In 2006, the figure for the two nations fluctuated at the five energies. When compared to the statistics in 2000, individuals in the United States now used 40% more

oil

than they did in 2000. The share of

gas

and other renewable resources,

on the other hand

, decreased by 25% and 5% respectively. Meanwhile, in the United

Kingdom

,

gas

consumption increased dramatically from around 20% in 2000 to 39% in 2006. Nuclear

energy

was utilized at 10% by the British, which is three times less than

oil

.
