The given graphs illustrate changes in the use of energy
resources in UK and the USA between 2000 and 2006.
In 2000, Britain and the US heavily relied on Oil and coal. While
in the US, more than 70% energy was generated by Oil and coal, and rest of
other sources accounted for barely 30%, distribution in UK was more even, since
fossil fuels accounted for just above 50%, and others for about 42%.
In the next six years, drastic changes were observed, as use
of coal significantly dropped in both the countries, in UK consumption was
almost halved, from 30% to 15%, while in US there was a drop of 10% in coal
consumption.
Use of oil increased in the USA and UK, 40% and 30%
respectively, dependence of USA on this source was heavy. In contrast, Britain
became more adapted to use of Gas, as it accounted for highest used resource,
38%.
Use of other nonrenewable resources remained stable though
used sparingly though nuclear power was used lesser.
