The given line graph is an extract from a report made in 2008 regarding U.S. energy consumption by fuel such as petrol/oil, coal, natural gas, nuclear, solar/wind and hydropower; commencing from 1980 and ending with predictions till 2030.

Overall, the category petrol/oil is the most popular source of fuel for energy consumption, followed by coal and then natural gas. Whereas nuclear, solar/wind and hydropower are consumed comparatively scarcely to derive energy in the United State of America.

According to the line graph, consumption of coal and petrol/oil have soared since 1980 and is expected to continue this trend by 2030 with a total rise of around 15 quadrillion units each. Similarly, natural gas consumption has also shown expansion (of nearly 5 quadrillion units) besides a few fluctuations, over approximately 20 years but later it will plateau till 2030.

However, use of nuclear and solar/wind energy is not increased noticeably since 1980 and is estimated to be at the same pace by 2030 i.e. from just below 5 quadrillion units in 1980 to just above 5 quadrillion units in 2030. Likewise, no significant change is observed and predicted for hydropower utilization as source of energy.
