Illustrated in the graph is the proportion of non-renewable and renewable energy usage within the first 25 years of the 21st century.
Overall, both energy categories have seen continuous trends throughout 2000 to 2025. Renewable energy has since been on an indefinite rise while non-renewables have reached new lows every year passing.
Specifically, for non-renewable energy, a clear downwards trend can be seen. Non-renewable energy usage peaked in 2000 at a disproportionate 90% before decreasing substantially to only 10% 25 years later. These proportions dropped at lower rates in the first 15 years, falling by less than 15% every five years. Looking at the last decade, however, the distribution of non-renewables have plunged by a landslide of 20% each five years.
Renewables saw a complete opposite trend, surging from as little as 10% in 2000 to a substantial rate of 90% in recent years. Numbers rose in the same proportions as non-renewables, going up by under 15% in the first three reported timeframes before rocketing up to its summit of 90% in 2025.
In summary, the graph shows a visible pattern of renewable energy replacing non-renewable energy, as renewables have gained superiority to the latter during the last decade.
