The bar chart illustrates the figures for energy produced by wind, measured in megawatts, in four different countries between 1985 and 2000.
Overall, the energy production of each country experienced an upward trend over the given period. However, while the figures for India, Denmark, and Germany rose significantly and consistently, those for the USA initially increased, but then dropped slightly until the end of the time frame shown.
Until 1990, the generation of energy in India, Denmark, and Germany was insignificant in comparison with that of the US. The figures for Denmark showed the most noticeable growth, increasing from just over 200 MW in 1985 to approximately 450 MW in 1990, and then skyrocketing to more than 1600 MW by 2000, surpassing the USA in the last year. Likewise, the amount of energy generated in India rose to 1200 MW in 2000, starting with 200 MW in the first year of the given time frame. Regarding Germany, its amount of energy generated was 400 MW in 1985, which was the highest figure compared with India and Denmark. However, even though the amount of energy produced in Germany went up significantly to reach approximately 900 MW in the last year, it was surpassed by Denmark and India in 1995 and 2000, respectively.
The United States, on the other hand, bucked the trend. The energy generation in the USA stood at 1200 MW in 1985, a figure that then grew considerably to marginally higher than 1600 MW, before decreasing steadily to around 1500 MW until 2000. Noticeably, although the energy production in the USA was the highest until 1995, it was then surpassed by Denmark.
