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

The given graph represents data for the consumption of energy in the USA during the years 1980-2030. From the timespan of 1980-2030, the increment of the usage for Petrol and Oil will be the highest with closing at 49 quadrillion units by 2030 and in 1980 that figure was at 35 and it dipped to 31 in 1985 and

then

keep on increasing. Simultaneously, for Coal and Natural gas, it will close at 25 for natural gas and for coal it will be slightly higher at 31 and their initial consumption in 1980 was 16 for coal and 20 for natural gas and in terms of statistics, either it stays same for some time or climbs up throughout the duration. So,

overall

the USA will be the highest consumer of these 3 sources of energy by 2030.

On the contrary

, the values for nuclear, solar/wind and hydropower were merely standing at almost 3.5% in 1980 and with nuclear having a small rise and closing at 7% in 2030 and

similarly

solar/wind closing at 6%.

Finally

, there is a minor fall in the case of hydropower and will close at 3% by 2030.
