while
traditional power sources like fossil fuel continue to dominate, renewable sources and nuclear energy are expected to remain less significant, despite some growth in recent years
Petrol consistently held the largest share of utilization, starting at 35 quadrillion units (35q) in 1980 and increasing to approximately 40q by 2008. Linking Words
This
upward trend is expected to continue, with a projected value of nearly 50q in 2030. Coal and natural gas were the second and third largest energy sources in 1980, at around 16q and 20q, respectively. Linking Words
However
, coal overtook natural gas in 1990, and despite some fluctuations, it is projected to become the second most used fuel in 2030, with consumption reaching just over 30q. Meanwhile, natural gas is expected to stabilize and remain relatively constant, with Linking Words
a
utilization of about 25q.
Both nuclear and renewable energies (solar/wind and hydropower) started at around 4q each in 1980 and showed fluctuations until 2008. It is anticipated that nuclear energy will increase to 10q by 2030, Remove the article

solar/wind will rise to approximately 5q. Linking Words
On the other hand
, hydropower is expected to experience a decline, before leveling off and maintaining a steady 2q in 2030.Linking Words
