production
by different
sources
in the United States between 1983 and 2003. In 1983, oil was the dominant source of
energy
, accounting for 42% of the total
production
.
This
was followed by coal at 23% and natural gas at 20%. Nuclear power and hydropower contributed much less, with 11% and 4%, respectively, making them the least significant
sources
of
energy
during that period. By 2003, there was a noticeable shift in
energy
production
sources
. Oil's share decreased slightly to 38%,
while
coal and natural gas increased to 24% and 21%, respectively. Nuclear power saw a marginal increase to 13%,
whereas
hydropower remained stable at 4%, indicating little change in renewable
