, it is predicted that the former will continue its trend, which is nearly one quarter, while
the latter will remain unchanged at 25 quadrillion
.
Over the given period
, nuclear, solar/wind, and hydropower started at around 4 quadrillion
, with nuclear at the top, followed by solar and wind at around 5 quadrillion
in 2010. Both are projected to reach around 6 and 9 quadrillion
by 2030 in order, while
hydropower experienced a slight drop and it is projected that it will fall below the initial values.Submitted by hongminh317 on
