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 comparisions where relevant.

The given line graph illustrates the USA energy resource data from 1980 and forecasts for 2030.

Overall

, there were upward trends in the consumption of all sources over 30 years. Fossil fuels exhibited the highest consumption amount,

whereas

the opposite can be seen in renewable ones. Regarding nonrenewable sources, in 1980, standing at 35

quadrillion

units

, the highest volume belonged to petro and oil, followed by natural gas and coal with 20 and nearly 16, respectively. After fluctuating over the next 15 years,

this

figure significantly increased to 42

quadrillion

units

and was expected to rise continuously to 47 in 2030. Natural gas and coal showed erratic patterns from 1980 to 2015; coal is projected to grow to 30

quadrillion

units

,

while

natural gas will stabilize. Referring to environmentally friendly power, nuclear, solar/wind, and hydropower shared the same level in 1980, at 4

quadrillion

- just one-seventh compared with petroleum and oil. These figures for nuclear and solar/wind moderately grew and were forecasted to reach 8 and 6

quadrillion

units

in 2030, respectively. The quantity of hydropower generated was uneven over three decades and will continue at

this

level until 2030.
