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

The line graph provides a visual representation of the 2008 report, which discusses the usage of non-renewable

resources

like

Petrol

and

Oil

, Coal and Natural

Gas

, and another are renewable

resources

like Nuclear Power, Solar, Wind and Hydropower. The data represents a timeline on the X-axis from 1980 to 2008, which states previous trends. And, from 2008 to 2030, states about future trends. On Y-axis, it states about measurable units i.e., Quadrillion Units (

QU

). In general view,

Petrol

and

Oil

take the leading position, by surpassing all other types of energy and Hydropower sets at the bottom. Starting from 1980,

petrol

and

oil

, was hitting at 35

QU

with slight fluctuation, and

then

reaching to 40

QU

in 2003.

Additionally

, it's forecasted that by 2030,

Petrol

and

Oil

will hit approximately 50

QU

which is the highest amongst all other

resources

.

Moreover

, as per consumption analysis, Natural

Gas

was around 20

QU

leaving Coal behind at approximately 16

QU

, especially before 1995. From, 1995 to 2008, a slight variation between Coal and Natural

Gas

can be seen. After 2008, Coal takes a stand in comparison to Natural

Gas

roughly at 27 and 23 respectively. In terms of all

resources

, American’s consumption of all renewable had been the least prefered. Till 1990, all renewable products fall below 5

QU

. But, from 1990 to 2005, nuclear power touched slightly above 5QU and others can be seen with minute changes. Even, the projected trend of these energy consumption products falls within the range of 2 to 8

QU

.

Overall

, data depicts the future demands for energy-efficient

resources

will be comparatively low.
