The image depicts a line chart titled "U.S. Energy Consumption by Fuel (1980-2030)" with six labeled lines representing "Petrol and Oil," "Coal," "Natural Gas," "Nuclear," "Solar/Wind," and "Hydropower." The chart's X-axis spans from 1980 to 2030, with the years 1985, 1995, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020, and 2025 marked. The Y-axis measures quadrillion units from 0 to 50, in increments of 5. "Petrol and Oil" begins at approximately 30 quadrillion units in 1980, peaking near 45 in 2010 and projected to rise slightly above that by 2030. "Coal" starts near 15, peaks at 25 around 2005, and is projected to decline to just above 20. "Natural Gas" begins below 15, surpasses "Coal" near 2010 just under 25, and is expected to reach 30 by 2030. "Nuclear" maintains a steady rise from 5 in 1980 to a projected 10 in 2030. "Solar/Wind" starts at 0, shows a sharp increase after 2010, and is projected to surpass "Nuclear" by 2030, reaching approximately 15. "Hydropower" hovers consistently around 5 quadrillion units throughout the timeline.

The line chart shows energy usage by fuel type in the USA, measured between 1980 and 2030.
Petrol and oil consumption increased rapidly and is expected to continue rising through 2030. Meanwhile, solar/wind and nuclear energy usage also rose gradually. Coal usage increased steadily as well, but natural gas usage dropped between 1985 and 1995 before resuming an upward trend. Hydropower usage remained stable throughout.
At the beginning of the period, petrol and oil usage was the highest, starting at 35 quadrillion BTUs in 1980 and continuing to increase to over 40 quadrillion BTUs by 2030. Both coal and natural gas rose from 15 to around 30 quadrillion BTUs, though natural gas remained stable at about 25 quadrillion units for a period.
Lastly, nuclear and solar/wind energy usage stayed around 5 quadrillion BTUs over the entire period from 1980 to 2030. Hydropower remained stable at under 5 quadrillion BTUs through 2030.
