The graph below gives information about energy consumption since 1980, with projections until 2030.
The graph depicts the
energy
consumption
by fuel in the USA from 1980 and its predictions until 2030. In addition
, the graph also
shows six types of energy
consumption
by fuels
, those are petrol
and oil
, coal, natural gas, nuclear, solar or wind, and hydropower
. One interesting thing is the usage of the fuels
will not decrease in number in the slightest bit until the year 2030, except for hydropower
, which was predicted to be stagnant until 2030.
Petrol
and oil
was the most consumed energy
in the last
43 years and it was predicted that it will increase in number until 7 years ahead. Besides
, the other main feature that can be interpreted from the graph is the steepest increase in consumption
of petrol
and oil
, which was predicted to increase by 15 quadrillion units in 2030. On the other hand
, the usage of hydropower
fuels
was predicted to stay still at less than 5 quadrillion units until 2030.
To conclude
, the energy
consumption
by fuels
ranked from the growth in number is petrol
and oil
, coal, natural gas, nuclear, solar or wind, and hydropower
(in order).Submitted by fylerone on
