The image portrays a line graph detailing U.S. Energy Consumption by Fuel from 1980 to 2030, including both historical data and future projections. Data lines represent consumption values of Petrol and Oil, Coal, Natural Gas, and a combined category for Nuclear, Solar/Wind, and Hydropower. From 1980 to the early 2000s, Petrol and Oil demonstrate a steady increase, starting close to 35 quadrillion units and rising to just over 40. Coal consumption also increases during this period, beginning near 15 and peaking around 25 before a gradual decline. Natural Gas shows a more variable trend, initially at 15, rising to nearly 25, dipping and then recovering to just under 25 by 2005. The combined category remains consistently below 10 quadrillion units. Projection lines suggest Petrol and Oil will plateau around 45, Coal will decline to below 20, Natural Gas will surpass Coal, reaching close to 30, and the combined category will see a slight increase, remaining under 15 quadrillion units.

The graph illustrates data from a report written in 2008 about the consumption of energy in the USA, commencing in 1980 with future estimates to 2030.
Overall, there were six documented energy sources: petrol and oil, coal, natural gas, nuclear, solar/wind, and hydropower. Despite there being a general decline in petrol and oil fuel consumption in earlier years, it was predicted that there would be a significant increase in this matter in future years. However, for alternative energy sources, this prediction cannot be noted. Petrol and oil command the biggest share, with 35 quadrillion units (35q) in 1980, rising to approximately 40q in 2008, and this trend is set to continue with a projected value of nearly 50q in 2030. In 1980, natural gas and coal came second and third, with 20q and 16q, respectively. However, coal overtook natural gas in 1990 and has been increasing since then. It is predicted that natural gas will level off and remain relatively constant at around 25q.
Nuclear and renewable energies all represented around 4q in 1980 and fluctuated up until 2008. It is supposed that nuclear energy will reach 10q by 2030, and solar/wind around 5q, with hydropower dropping and remaining constant at around 3q.
