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 illustrates a variety of types of fuel consumption in the USA with a five-year interval from 1980 through the prediction for 2030. The unit on the Y-axis is shown in quadrillions.

Overall

,

it is clear that

petrol and oil are used as the main source of energy in the USA,

while

coal and natural gas come in second place and are consumed almost the same number.

However

, the U.S. does not concentrate on using nuclear, solar, wind and hydropower much.

to 40 in 2005 and continuously increased to nearly 43 in 2020 It was predicted that these resources will be supplied at well under 50 in 2030. In 1980, coal and natural gas began at 16 and 20 respectively, after that, they swang throughout the period until they met together at approximately 24 in 2015. Coal still inclined and is predicted to end the period at 30,

whereas

natural gas hovered at the same number as in 2015.

Additionally

, clean power kicked off around 4 and nuclear power levelled off in 2005 at 7 before rising again in 2030 to 8. Solar&wind and water consumption levelled out at 5 and 3 in 2010, after nuclear five years, but the former will shoot again to 6 in 2030 whilst the latter remained constant to the end.
