The image shows a line graph titled "U.S. Energy Consumption by Fuel (1980-2030)" with data from 1980 to 2007 as history and projected data from 2010 to 2030. The graph displays energy consumption in quadrillion units on the y-axis and time in years on the x-axis. Petrol and Oil consumption starts at approximately 35 quadrillion units in 1980, reaching nearly 45 quadrillion units in 2007 and projected to reach over 50 quadrillion units by 2030. Coal consumption begins at just over 15 quadrillion units, increasing to almost 25 quadrillion units in 2007 and projected at 30 quadrillion units in 2030. Natural Gas consumption starts at around 15 quadrillion units, with a steady increase to 25 quadrillion units in 2007 and projected to continue to about 30 quadrillion units in 2030. Nuclear, Solar/Wind, and Hydropower have significantly lower consumption levels, all starting below 5 quadrillion units in 1980. Nuclear energy shows a gradual increase to approximately 8 quadrillion units by 2007, with a projection of nearly 10 quadrillion units by 2030. Solar/Wind energy sees the most significant projected increase, starting at nearly 0 quadrillion units in 1980, with a slight increase to almost 3 quadrillion units in 2007 and an anticipated surge to 10 quadrillion units by 2030. Hydropower consumption remains relatively stable, starting at just over 2 quadrillion units, with little change by 2007 and a small projected increase to about 4 quadrillion units by 2030.

The utilization of energy in the USA for 4 decades with forecast until 2030 is delineated by a 2008 report in the given line graph. Units are measured by quadrillion.
Overall, what can be clearly seen that the amount of power that consumed by petrol and oil, coal, natural gas, nuclear, solar/wind increased during the given period, while, the quantity of energy consumption by hydropower showed a slightly fluctuation, but not upward trend at that time. Another main point is that, according to plan for period between 2015 and 2030, the amount of all fuels is going to increase, except for natural gas and hydropower.
Looking into the history of energy usage in America, in the beginning year the use of hydropower, nuclear, solar/wind showed the same result at 5. Although, till 2013, the consumption of nuclear and solar/wind power witnessed upward trends, by respectively 4 and 2 (from 3 to 7 and from 3 to 5), whereas, the use of hydropower were undergone slightly fluctuation between 35 and 32, from 1980 till 2000, after 2000 it showed significantly increase by 15 (from 35 to 50). The use of coal and natural gas provided fluctuation by vice-versa scenario during the given years.
Moving into the plans for future 15 years, the utilization of petrol and oil, coal is expected to rise, respectively from 42 to 50 and from 23 to 33. when it comes to the use of nuclear and solar/wind, they will show slightly increase, accordingly from 3 to 7 and from 3 to 5. However, according to plan, the utilization of hydropower and natural gas will not change in the future.
