Question
global sources of energy■ crude oil■ combustible renewables■ coal and coal products■ nuclear■ natural gas■ hydro, geothermal, solar, windmost sources of energy around the world come from☑ nonrenewable resources.this graph shows that the use of alternative sources of energy as a percentage of the total source of energyx is increasing greatlyis decreasing greatlyhas changed very littlee use of crude oile.
Brief Explanations
- First, identify alternative energy sources from the legend: these are Combustible renewables, Nuclear, and Hydro, geothermal, solar, wind (the top three colored segments of the stacked area chart).
- Observe the total height of these alternative energy segments from 1995 to 2010: their combined height grows from around 1 billion tons of oil equivalent to around 2 billion tons, while the total global energy use (full height of the chart) grows from ~8 to ~12 billion tons.
- Calculate the percentage change: 1995 alternative share ≈ $\frac{1}{8} = 12.5\%$; 2010 alternative share ≈ $\frac{2}{12} ≈ 16.7\%$. This is a small change, so the percentage has changed very little.
