The graph shows US energy consumption by fuel from 1980 to 2008, with projections to 2030. Petrol and oil consumption, starting at 35 quadrillion units in 1980, rose to 40 in 2008 and is expected to reach 47 by 2030. Coal usage increased from 16 quadrillion units in 1980 to 20 in 2008 and is projected to hit 30 by 2030. Natural gas remained around 20 quadrillion units and is anticipated to rise slightly to 25 by 2030.

Nuclear energy grew from 4 quadrillion units in 1980 to 8 in 2008, with no significant future growth expected. Solar and wind energy, starting at negligible levels, reached 2 quadrillion units in 2008 and is projected to increase to 5 by 2030. Hydropower remained stable at 4 quadrillion units.

In summary, while consumption of petrol, oil, coal, and natural gas is set to rise, nuclear, solar/wind, and hydropower will experience modest or negligible increases.
