The diagram below shows a report from 2008 that informs the USA’s energy consumption since 1980 with a forecast until 2030. In general overview, petrol, and oil sources significantly increase, while coal and natural gas both gradually rise, and in the bottom number the nuclear, solar or wind, and hydropower resources are steadily unchanged.
The amount usage of petrol and oil fluctuated by 35 quadrillions from 1980 and went up to 40 in 2005. It was estimated to rise higher by adding more than ten by 2030. For coal and natural gas as the source of fuel, the usage quantities slightly increased from 15 to 23 in 2005. It is projected to add up more for coal and steady for natural gas.
Nuclear, solar or wind, and hydropower consumption in the same period were always about or above 5 from 1980 to 2005. Nuclear and solar/wind energy sources are forecasted to increase between 5 to 10 quadrillions in 2030. Meanwhile, hydropower is projected to fall more under 5 during this period.
