The graph below gives information from Annual Energy Outlook 2008 about consumption of energy in the USA since 1980 with projection until 2030. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The line chart reveals the consumption of six different kinds of energy per year in the USA from 1980 to the predicted 2030.

Overall

, the vast majority of energy use in America was

petrol

and

oil

in the given time whilst the use of hydropower was mostly the least in the given 5 decades.

According to

the information shown in the graph, Americans relied on

petrol

and

oil

the most which was estimated to peak at 50 quadrillion per year in 2030.

On the other hand

, the annual consumption of natural gas plateaued at 25 quadrillions from 2015 with projection until 2030 which experienced 5 quadrillions growth from 1980 to 2030. What should be particularly mentioned was the requirement of hydropower was under 5 quadrillions during the mentioned 50 years which was expected to be ten times lower than that of

petrol

and

oil

in 2030.

To sum up

, it can be apparently seen that the importance of

petrol

and

oil

considerably outweighed the rest five kinds of energy.
