The graph shows energy consumption in the US from 1980 to 2012,and projected consumption to 2030.(图形没看透彻....)
Petrol and oil are the dominant fuel sources throughout this period,with 35 quadrillion(35q) units used in 1980,rising to 42q in 2012.(起始点描述)Despite some initial fluctuation(开始的波动),from 1995 there was a steady increase(1995后的稳定增长).This is expected to continue,reaching 47q in 2030.(一句话描述预期值)
Consumption of energy derived from(来源于,小词运用) natural gas and coal is similar over the period.From 20q and 15q respectively in 1980,gas showed an initial fall and coal a gradual increase(并列描述),with the two fuels equal between 1985 and 1990.Consumption has fluctuated since 1990 but both now provide 24q.Coal is predicted/expected to increase steadily to 31q in 2030,whereas after 2014,gas will remain stable at 25q.
In 1980,energy from nuclear,hydro-and solar/wind power was equal at only 4q.Nucalear has risen by(增长量)3q,and solar/wind by 2.After slight increases,hydropower has fallen back to the 1980 figure.It is expected to maintain this level until 2030,while the others should rise slightly after 2025.
Ovearall,the US will continue to rely on fossil fuels(石油),with sustainable and nuclear energy sources reamining relatively insignificant.
