The graph shows the use of energy in billion units in Australia since 1980 with projections to 2030, divided into 5 sources of energy: oil, coal, natural gas, nuclear and solar.
Overall, oil and coal uses saw a significant change, oil gaining 13 billions of units in units while coal industry experiencing double intake at the end. Others, however, stood at level where they were before, with only natural gas uses increasing 25 percent.
In 1980, total uses of oil stood at 35 billion units and then saw a mediocre drop until 1990, where it reached 30 billion uses. After that, it proceeded to steadily increase for the rest of the period, reaching 48 billion units.
The coal industry, was at 16 billion units and gradually increased for the whole peroid, reaching 32 billion units.
In contrast, natural gas, nuclear and solar energy sources saw a little change over the period, where natural gas uses stood at 20 billion up until 2012, then slowly going up reaching 25 billion units. Nuclear and solar energy remained at 4 billion units, slightly growing to 8 and 6 billions units respectively.
