These two charts show energy sources in the

UK and the USA in 2000 and 2006. In both

years un-renewable sources provide the vast
majority of energy in both countries.
Overall, Both countries have increased their
usage of renewable sources but the overall
percentage is quite minimal.
Both countries have also reduced their
dependence on nuclear power, dropping from
14% to 8% in the UK and from 8% to 6% in
USA.
The UK and USA derive their energy from
different sources. The UK is very dependent on
gas whereas the USA uses mainly oil. Both
countries are, however, dependent on oil and
this has become more so over the ten year
period, with figures in the UK rising from 28% to
30% and in the USA from 37% to 40%. The UK
has significantly reduced its dependence on
coal, it contributing only 14% in 2006, and
increasingly used natural gas. The USA follows
a similar pattern but not to the same degree.
