The bar charts illustrate the difference in electricity production using Non-renewable and Renewable energy sources, respectively, in the United States between the years 2009 and 2019, with an observed increase in the use of Renewable Energy; the most popular from of it being Wind Energy.
In the first chart, it is clear that the increased use of Renewables and Natural Gas as energy sources has contributed to a steady rise in electricity production, from 437 billion kwh in 2009 to 720 billion kwh in 2019, and from 921 billion kwh in 2009 to 1582 billion kwh in 2019, respectively, whereas Coal has seen a dramatic decrease from 1756 billion kwh in 2009 to 966 billion kwh in 2019.
On further observations, in the second chart, one can notice that Wind Power has gained popularity as an accessible form of renewable energy, generating electricity from 94 billion kwh in 2009 to 300 billion kwh in 2019. With Solar Power following suit, it is generating 73 times more electricity in 2019 than it did in 2009, while Hydroelectric energy has remained constant in the last decade.
To summarize, the United States has experienced an increase in the use of sustainable energy sources for the production of electricity, to a considerable degree, over the span of 10 years.
