The given bar graphs compare the electricity generated using renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, plant and animal matter, hydroelectric, and non-renewable sources like coal, natural gas, nuclear, and petroleum in the United States over a decade from 2009 to 2019.
Overall, renewable energy has skyrocketed in its demand for electricity production in the United States by the end of 2019, compared to non-renewable energy, which shows the more green motive of mankind toward the environment.
The first graph illustrates the variation of different renewable energy sources in the production of power. There is a massive decline in energy production by coal from 1756 billion kWh to 966 by the end of 2019, as well as petroleum showing a decrease in its electricity generation from 57 to 40 by 2019, while natural gas upsurges its power generation by 661 billion kWh more from the 2009 report to 2019. Nuclear energy shows a slight variation over a decade of 799 and 809 billion kWh respectively in 2009 and 2019.
Renewable energy has shown an upsurge over the decade, with an overall improvement from 437 to 720 billion kWh. The second graph delves into the dramatic rise in production of electricity by wind from 94 to 300 billion kWh and solar from 1 to 73 billion kWh by the end of the decade. Geothermal, plant and animal matter, and hydroelectric energy show no change or a slight change in their production of electricity by 2019.
