bar charts illustrate the electricity produced through distinct
energy
origins
such
as renewable and non-renewable in the United States of America over a period of 10 years. The generation of
energy
was tremendous and
hence
, measured in billion kilowatt-hours. It can be observed that non-renewable
energy
sources are significantly more popular than their renewable counterpart throughout.
Nonetheless
, a certain decrease in generation is noted in the non-renewable
energy
sources over the years, which is not the case for the renewable ones. In 2019, natural gas was greatly preferred with 1582 billion kilowatt-hours of production. Amongst the exhaustive options, coal was utilised the most generating a little over 1755 units of power in 2009.
However
, from 2009 to 2019, coal suffered a major plunge, nearly halving its production
overall
.
While
numerous replenishable origins have maintained stable usage during the course, solar and wind
energy
have seen appreciable spikes. The former has produced more than thrice the power in 2019 than it did ten years ago.
Furthermore
, the latter's generated has seen an additional 72 billion kilowatt-hours of generation.
