The line graph provides information about energy use in the USA since 1980 with

projections to 2030 from a report published in 2008.

Starting from 35 quadrillion units, the use of petrol and oil was fluctuated widely
but the trend was upward and in 2008, the growth reached around 43 quadrillion
units. This trend is expected to continue growing in 2030 with 50 quadrillion units.
In 1980, natural gas and coal came in second and third with around 16 and 20
quadrillion units respectively. However, coal overtook natural gas in 1995 and,
despite some fluctuation, it is set to be the second most used energy in 2030 with
just over 30 quadrillion units. It is predicted that natural gas will level off and
remain constant at about 25 quadrillion units.
On the other hand, nuclear and renewable energies all represented around 4
quadrillion units in 1980 and fluctuated up until 2008. It is projected that nuclear
energy will reach 10 quadrillion units by 2030 and solar/wind around 5 with
hydropower dropping and then remaining constant approximately 2 quadrillion
units.
Overall, the USA had depended most on petrol and oil, and least on solar, wind,
and hydro power, as its sources of energy and this was expected to continue in
the future.
