Energy consumption vs production test builder 2

The line graph reveals striking differences between consumed energy quantities and the amount of energy produced from 1950 and 2000 and also presents some forecasted figures for the 2000-2025 period.

It is initially noticed that the gap between us consumption and production becomes increasingly dramatic although both experience considerable growth. More specifically, between 1950 and 1975, the gap between the quantities of energy consumed and produced was minimal with a twofold increase seen in both (from approximately 25 to over 50).

However, while a rising amount of energy was consumed between 1975 and 2000 (from 60 to 95), the figure for energy produced fluctuated around 60. Hence, in this period, energy had to be imported to bridge the widened gap. The discrepancy between energy consumption and production is predicted to become far more drastic during the 2000-2025 period. With a double rise from 75 to roughly 150 in the demand, the increase from 65 to 85 in the supply is supposed to fail to meet the consumers’ need.

In summary, it is possibly realized that energy production in America is not keeping up with consumption based on both past and projected figures.
