This graph below gives information from a 2008 report about consumption energy in the USA since 1980 with projections until 2030. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparison where relevant

The provided line chart illustrates the

consumption

and projected trends of six different

energy

sources

in the USA from 1980 to 2030. Notably, fossil

fuels

exhibit significant fluctuations,

while

renewable

energy

sources

demonstrate relatively stable patterns. It is striking to note that

petroleum

and

oil

dominate

energy

consumption

in the USA. In 1980, fossil

fuels

accounted for 35

quadrillion

units of

energy

consumption

, with

petroleum

and

oil

leading at approximately 35

quadrillion

, followed by coal at 20

quadrillion

and natural gas at about 16

quadrillion

. Over the subsequent decades, coal surpassed natural gas twice, first in 1990 and again in 2005. Despite fluctuations, all three types of fossil

fuels

are projected to show increased

consumption

by 2030, with

petroleum

and

oil

reaching 45

quadrillion

, coal at 30

quadrillion

, and natural gas at 25

quadrillion

units.

Conversely

, in the initial year of the data, nuclear

energy

, solar/wind power, and hydropower all began at similar

consumption

levels, each below 5

quadrillion

units.

While

nuclear

energy

exhibits a consistent upward trend, solar/wind power and hydropower show more variability, occasionally surpassing other

sources

. By 2030, nuclear and solar/wind

energy

are projected to surpass their 1980

consumption

levels,

while

hydropower is expected to decrease compared to its 1980

consumption

. In conclusion, the data reveals a significant reliance on fossil

fuels

, particularly

petroleum

and

oil

, in the USA's

energy

consumption

landscape.

While

renewable

energy

sources

show some promising growth, fossil

fuels

continue to dominate, with projected increases in

consumption

by 2030.
