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

A glance at the line graph delineates statistics about the commensurability of consuming

energy

sources in the USA from 1980 to 2030.

Overall

, as it virtually accounts for the main source of

energy

consumption, petrol and oil will retain staggeringly their gap with respect to the other energies.

Furthermore

, it can explicitly be perceived that not only the three staple categories of

energy

were used in America but

also

the government is going to raise them, except for natural gas and hydropower, in the future. Looking into more details for the dominant

energy

source, commencing from 35

quadrillion

in 1980 to 40

quadrillion

in 2020, petroleum products

then

are supposed to increase dramatically to 50

quadrillion

in the year 2030. With regards to moderate consumption, 20

quadrillion

and approximately 16

quadrillion

were allocated to natural gas and coal, respectively, in 1980. After some fluctuations, both reached almost the same level, somewhere in the vicinity of 25

quadrillion

in 2020. Over the next decade, the amount of coal (30

quadrillion

) will be higher than that of natural gas, which still level off. Turning to the lowest class

energy

sources,

however

, nuclear was consumed the same as much as the figures for both solar/wind and hydropower energies in 1980, at nearly four

quadrillion

.

While

the consumption of hydropower in 2030 is going to remain equal to the beginning of the period, nuclear and solar/wind will provide more

energy

, about six

quadrillion

and five

quadrillion

in order

at the end

of the period.
