The graph below shows a 2008 report about the consumption of energy in the USA since 1980, with projections until 2030.

The line graph illustrates the 1USUSA energy consumption by fuel since 1980, with projections until 2030.

Overall, 2the consumption of almost all fuels is projected to increasealmost all of the energy consumption increased, 3except for that of hydropower, which remained relatively stableexcept hydropower remained stable. 4In addition,What's more, 5petrol and oil remained the most consumed fuelpetrol and oil were the highest during the period, whereas hydropower was the lowest.

7The consumption of petrol and oil was nearly 36 quadrilion units in 1980, then it continued to rise during the period. It is predicted that it will increase to a peak of approximately 47 quadrilion units in 2030. Moreover, the 8consumptionconsumptions of coal and natural gas continued to rise 9from 1980 to 2014, reaching around 25 quadrillion unitsfrom 1908 to 2014, where they reached around 25 quadrilion units in 2014. 10Subsequently,And then, the 11consumption of natural gasconsumption of natural remained stable, while the consumption of coal continued to increase, with a projection that it will climb to a peak of approximately 12around 32 quadrillion units in 203030 in 2030.

13However, the consumptions of 14the other three energy sourcesother three energy were much lower 15than those of coal, petrol and oil, and natural gasthan that of coal, petrol and oil and natural gas. The consumptions of nuclear, solar/wind and hydropower 16stood at approximately 3.5 quadrillion unitsheld about 3.5 quadrilion units in 1908, then the consumptions of nuclear and solar/wind began to rise slowly, while the consumption of hydropower 17showed a fluctuating trendhad a fulctuate trend from 1985 to 2010, then 18remainedreamined stable at the end of the period.
