The line graph illustrates how
energy
consumption
in the USA has changed since 1980, with projections extending to 2030. As we can see from the graph, among all the
energy
sources,
petrol
and
oil
have the highest
consumption
. The
consumption
of
petrol
and
oil
was 35 quadrillion units in 1980. After that, it experienced slight fluctuations for the next 15 years. The
consumption
significantly rose from 1995 to 2005, and it is expected to have moderate growth until 2030. The lines representing coal and natural gas
consumption
are more stable compared to the

have remained relatively stable since 1980. Nuclear
energy
experienced a slight increase as a new

will maintain their dominant status until 2030, with coal and natural gas
also
contributing significantly to
