The graph below gives information from Annual Energy Outlook 2008 about consumption of energy in the USA since 1980 with projection until 2030

The line chart depicts the history

as well as

the estimation of annual

energy

consumption commencing from 1980 and ending in 2030 in the united states of America,

Overall

, it can be clearly seen that petrol and oil

energy

are more consumed throughout the given period compared to nuclear, solar/wind and hydropower

energy

, Glancing at the line chart reveals that petrol and oil

energy

was the first demanded source of

energy

and will remain the top one, between 1980 and 1995 showed a slight up-downs and upwards, right

after

this

year, a gradual increase started with roughly 35

quadrillions

till 2020, afterwards the consumption will illustrate a continuous rise till 2030 to reach exactly 50

quadrillions

, in the meanwhile the three sources of

energy

such

as Nuclear, solar, and hydropower were the least consumed with nearly 5

quadrillions

in 1980

however

, the estimation shows a fractional uplift throughout the projection ,

whereas

, the coal and natural gas came in the second stage, in the contrast, the coal

energy

showed a considerable increase from 1980 with just above 15

quadrillions

to reach its peak in 2030 with exactly 30

quadrillions

,

while

natural gas will consent a steady rate between 2010 and 2030 with 20

quadrillions

,
