with-projections-until-2030

Sample Answer 1:
The line chart depicts the consumption of energy in the USA from 1980 and also gives
projection of it till the year 2030. As is presented in the graph, petrol and oil were the
main two sources of energy while the use of coal would increase in the coming years.

As is presented in the line graph, initially in 1980 35 quadrillion units of oil and petrol
energy was consumed in the USA while 15-20 quadrillion units each of coal and natural
gas was consumed. In this year less than 5 quadrillion energy got from nuclear, solar and
hydropower was consumed. The consumption of all of these energy sources kept on
increasing with some fluctuations. It is projected that in 2030 the consumption of petrol
and oil will reach to over 50 quadrillion units while coal and natural gas’s consumption
will reach from 20 to 30 quadrillions. The consumption of nuclear, solar/ wind and
hydropower will also increase and would reach to over 5 quadrillion units.
In 2030, oil and petrol would be mostly consumed to get energy while in the second
most consumed energy source would be coal.
Model Answer 2: 

The supplied line graph depicts information about utilization of energy in the USA since 1980
with predictions until 2030. In general, petrol & oil and coal accounted as high units of fuel
consumption in 1980 and will be increased until 2030. In contrast, nuclear, solar/wind and
waterpower were less favorable fuel consumed since 1980 and will be less chosen until 2030.

Looking at the details, petrol and oil reckoned about 35 quadrillion units in 1980 and was true
as the highest fuel use at the time and has gone up gradually to about 40 quadrillion in 2015
and will increase to more than 45 quadrillion in 2030. The same trend is true for coal
resources. The coal consumption was about 16 quadrillion units in 1980 and the figure leveled
up through the observed years and is projected to hit figure of 30 quadrillion units in 2030.
Natural gas utilization seemed fluctuated over observed years and it points about 20
quadrillion unit in 2015. However, it is predicted to level off until 2030.

In contrast, nuclear, sun/wind, and hydropower kept small quantities of fuel consumption
compared to other fuel sources abs they are projected to as tiny amount of fuel utilization in
2030. Nuclear use was about 4 quadrillion units in 1980 and in 2030 the figure will hit only
about 7 quadrillion units. Solar and hydropower also amassed about 4 quadrillion in 1980 and
in 2030, the consumption will be only about 5 quadrillion for solar and hydropower will be
remained the same figure like it was in 1980.
