the two main graphs show the main sources of energy in the USA in 1980 and 1990. Write a report describing the changes, at least 150 words.
These pie charts depict the essential sources of
power
in the United States in two different years. Overall
, it can be seen that there were five different ways, which could be used to generate energy
.
According to
what is shown, in 1990, the majority of power
was produced from oil, as it accounted for a third of the whole production. However
, coal and natural gas together represented more than half of the total amount of energy
, at,27%, and 25%, respectively, the minority of energy
came from nuclear power
, at 10 per cent and from hydroelectric power
, at 5%.
Regarding, 1980, oil was used significantly to generate power
, at 42 per cent, whereas
the usage of both nuclear power
and hydroelectric power
was very modest at the same ratio, 5. But, coal and natural gas together were in charge of the second source of power
, at 22%, and 26%, respectively.
To sum up
, we could say that, in 1990, although
the consumption of oil reduced as a source of energy
by 9% in comparison to 1980, it remained the backbone of power
production.Submitted by sm710129 on
