The graph below gives information from a 2008 report about consumption of energy in the USA since 1980 with projections until 2030.

consumption of 6 types of

in the USA from 1980 to 2008 and anticipation until 2030.

It is clear that

Hydropower

uses

energy

far less than other fuels. In 1980, petrol and oil utilized 35

quadrillion

units

as the main

fuel

. Natural

fuels 20

and coal used a little over 15

. The other source of

energy

had a negligible amount of

energy

consumption at about 3

.

However

, five years later coal overtook natural

and became the second

in utilizing

. The statistical information shows that the consumption of

energy

will rise dramatically to almost 50

quadrillion

. The usable

energy

by natural

will increase to 25

quadrillion

units

by 2014 and will remain steady at

this

level. Coal

fuel

will see a rise at just over 30

. Nuclear, solar/wind and

hydropower

hydropower

will stand at a stable amount from 2010 to 2030.
