The graph below gives information from a 2008 report about energy consumption in the USA since 1980, with projections until 2030. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and making comparisons where relevant.
The line graph provides information about the
rate
of six segments in energy used by fuel in the United States over a period
of 50 years from 1980 to 2030.
Overall
, it is clear that
the most of energy consumption in the USA is petrol and oil, and the rate
of coal and natural gas have increased gradually since 1980 to projection
until 2023. However
, three types of fuels (nuclear, solar/wind and hydropower) have risen slightly between 1980 and 2030.
From 1980, the line graph illustrates the highest rate
of fuel usage in the USA is petrol and oil at 35 Quadrillion units and it had a dramatic growth at approximately 50 q
, since 1980 to projection
until 2030. Likewise
, at the beginning of the period
time in coal use experienced a slight rise at around 17 q
, it had kept marginal growth and it will reach a peak at about 32 q
in 2030. In comparison with the rate
of natural gas, from 1980 to 2030, the rate
of natural gas was higher than the former just under a quarter from the beginning of the period
but after ,that it was erratic fluctuation and remained constantly in the projection
period
shown at about 25 q
from 2015 to 2030.
In terms of the quantities of fuel usage including nuclear, solar/wind and hydropower, they stood at the same rate
at around 4 q
. Moreover
, they remained constant at around 8 q
, 6 q
,and 4 q
respectively at the end
of the period
time projection
