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 making comparisons where relevant.
The line graph illustrates energy consumption by fuel in the United States over a period of 50 years, starting from 1980.
Overall, it is clear that fossil fuels like petrol and oil have been the dominant source of energy in the US since 1980 and will continue this trend into the future. On the other hand, nuclear, hydropower and solar/wind energy are used less than other types of energy.
The consumption of petrol and oil stood at the highest number of 35 quadrillion units (q) in the year 1980, followed by a substantial rise to roughly 40q in 2008. This upward trend is set to continue through 2030, with 50q consumed by Americans in the final year. Natural gas and coal came in second and third place in 1980, with around 20q and 16q, respectively. Whilst the former is predicted to increase steadily over the years and overtake natural gas to finish at the second-highest number of 30q in 2030, the latter is likely to reach 25q in 2015 and plateau until the end of the period.
In contrast, consumption of energy from nuclear, solar/wind and hydropower sources was below 5q in the first year. Usage then increased slightly for nuclear and solar/wind energy, while for hydropower, it dipped. The prediction is that nuclear, solar/wind and hydropower consumption will reach the mark of 7q, 5q and 2q in that order, still lower than other types of energy.
