information from 2008 report EbKAB
The chart shows the results of a report from 2008 about the amounts of various energy
sources used in the United States since 1980 and includes predictions until 2030.
Overall, since 1980 the consumption of all sources, except hydropower, have increased and
the projections show that petrol and oil and coal will continue to grow while the others are to
remain relatively stable.
From the start, petrol and oil has been the most used source of energy, starting at 35
quadrillion units and currently resting at roughly 42 quadrillion units. Natural gas began with
20 quadrillion units and coal at about 16 but both increased to the same figure of roughly 25
quadrillion units each. Nuclear power, solar and wind power and hydropower each started at
approximately 4 quadrillion units but while the first two rose to 7 and 5 quadrillion units
respectively, hydropower remained at the same value.
Petrol and oil and coal are forecast to continue increasing by roughly 5 and 6 quadrillion
units respectively. The other four power sources are forecast to remain stable until 2030
besides an addition one quadrillion units for nuclear power and for solar power in the final
years.
