While the usage of petrol and oil will reach a peak of 47.5 quadrillion units in 2030 compared to 35 quadrillion in 1980, the consumption of coal in the US will only reach 27.5 quadrillion from 20 quadrillion in 1980. Besides coal, petrol, and oil, natural gas is also one of the most popular fuel in the USA. The usage of natural gas decreased slightly between 1980 and 1995, however, it recovered in 1996 and fluctuated till 2015. Natural gas is predicted to remain stable in the future.

The use of these energy sources fluctuated around 5 quadrillion between 1980 and 2009 and remained stable from 2015. However, people believe that there will be a slight increase in the consumption of nuclear, solar and wind energy in 2025.
