The graph below gives information from 2008 report about consumption of energy in the USA since 1980 with projection until 2030. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparison where relevant.
The chart illustrates how much
energy
was generated by fuel in the USA from 1980 until 2008, as well as
provides an estimation for the generation of energy
until 2030.
First,
the main sources of energy
, according to
the report were Petrol and Oil, which are expected to be the main origin of energy
in the future. Coal and Natural gas consolidated provided the same amount of energy
as Petrol and Oil. Coal is expected to double the units of quadrillions from roughly 15 to around 30, while
Gas is expected to stay at around 25 units.
Secondly
, green energy
was used to support less consumption compared to fossil fuels, less than four units of quadrillions. While
hydropower remains more or less at the same level during the presented period, nuclear and solar/wind sources are expected to double their amounts by 2030. However
, even consolidated, they still could support less than 10% of total energy
consumption.
Overall
, despite the significant growth in green energy
, the main source remains fossil fuel energy
, supported mainly by petrol and oil.Submitted by vikiregev on
