On the other hand
, nuclear, solar wind and hydropower energy were consumed at the same rate in 1980 at around 4Q.The three sources of electricity were equally applied till 2010 when nuclear and solar wind levelled up slightly Linking Words
while
hydropower flattened out .They are projected to maintain these trends till 2030.

Overall
,it can be seen that petrol and oil were the hugely used over the given period Linking Words
