The two graphs show the main sources of energy in the USA in the 1980s and the 1990s.
The following pie charts compare five different commonplace source consumptions in the USA from 1980 to 1990. Looking from an
overall
perspective, it is readily apparent that Oil was the main usage in ten years, followed by Natural gas and Coal was showed broadly similar trends in a given period,
while
the unrenewable sources with the least numbers were Hydroelectric
Power
and Nuclear
Power
. In 1980, Oil accounted for slightly under half at 42%, which was the biggest number in the data, and
this
figure decreased by 9% in the
last
year. Natural gas was at 26, less doubled than the first one, and it declined by 1% in the final year surveyed.
On the other hand
, Coal, which was the third in the graph, comprised almost a quarter of the chart in 1980, went up by 5% in 1990.
Furthermore
, in terms of Hydroelectric
Power
and Nuclear
Power
, both were similar percentages which are 5% in the first year,
however
, Nuclear
Power
's number rose from 5 to 10% in 1990.
