The graph given the information reported in 2011 about energy consumption by fuel in the UK from 1978 with projections until 2038.
Overall, energy consumption using non-renewable energy sources is projected to be increased until 2038. On the other hand, energy consumption based on renewable energy will remain constant until 2038.
To begin with, petrol and oil have been the dominant source of energy consumption in UK, showing an upwards trend from 1978 and continuing with the trend in the projections to 50 quadrillion liters by 2038. Similarly, the trend also occurs for both coal and natural gas. In 1978, natural gas consumption was 5 quadrillion units higher than coal. However, projections for 2038 indicate that coal consumption is expected to surpass natural gas with a small margin.
Secondly, In 1978, use of renewable energy as fuel was much lower compared to unrenewable energy. However, starting from 2003, renewable energy sources, such as nuclear, solar and wind, and hydropower, shows a stable consumption trend, with nuclear power being the most widely used at just under 10 quadrillion units and hydropower the least around.
