5.The graph below gives information from a 2008 report about consumption of energy in the USA since 1980 with projections until 2030. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.
The line chart represents information from a 2008 report about energy usage in the USA from 1980 with forecasts until 2030.
It can be seen that petrol and oil have the highest consumption over the years.
In contrast
, nuclear, solar wind and hydropower have the lowest predicted usage from 1980 to 2030.
According to
the figures, petrol and oil fluctuated in the first 15 years but then
increased steadily to 2008 and is expected to continue to increase to a projected 50 quadrillion units by 2030. However
, coal and natural gas followed a similar pattern to each other from 1980 to 2008. In the future coal is predicted to be more popular than natural gas. Moreover
, in 1980, nuclear, solar wind and hydropower had the same usage, but from 1990 nuclear slightly increased ahead of the other two. Looking forward these types of fuel are forecasted to remain stable.
To sum up
, there will be a significant increase in the quadrillion units of petrol, oil, and coal, namely 2008 and 2030.Submitted by sunnyrogle22 on
