The chart illustrates information about electricity generated using renewable and non renewable energy in the united states in 2009 and 2019.
As an overview, electricity generation from non renewable energy sources in the US has been coal in the initial year and natural gas in the final year. Electricity generation from renewable energy sources in the US is mostly hydroelectric in the early year and wind in the later year.
Firstly, in the case of non renewable energy source the use of petroleum and nuclear have stayed in both year. The use of renewables in 2019 is 720 billion kilowatt hours and in the early year is 437 billion kilowatt hours. The use of natural gas is decreased from 921 billion kilowatt hours compared to the final year. The usage of coal has decreased from 1756 billion kilowatt hours to 966 billion kilowatt hours in the later year.
Furthermore, in the case of renewables, the use of hydroelectric is same in both year. The usage of solar energy is increased in 2019 compared to the early year. The usage of wind is 300 billion kilowatt hours in 2019 and 94 billion kilowatt hours in 2009.The consumption of geothermal and plant /animal matter is pretty much similar in both year.
