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

The line graph illustrates and forecasts the amount of

energy

consumption

in the USA from 1980 to 2030.

Overall

, there was an upward trend in the

consumption

of all types of

energy

, except hydropower which remained unchanged. Among these sectors, petrol and oil consistently held the largest share of the total

consumption

over the entire period. In 1980, nearly half of the

energy

being used in the USA was from petrol and oil, followed by natural gas and coal with 35, 20 and 15

quadrillion

units

, respectively. The

consumption

in the remaining sectors accounted for negligible figures with around 5

quadrillion

units

. In 2030, petrol and oil are estimated to witness a surge of over 50% and

thus

, maintain its position as the dominant area of

energy

consumption

in the USA. Coal is

also

projected to record an increase and surpass the figure for natural gas throughout

this

period with 30 and 25

quadrillion

units

, respectively. In the top three of lowest

energy

consumption

in 2030, nuclear and solar/wind are forecasted to rise slightly to over 5

quadrillion

units
