The line graph illustrates a significant decrease in the consumption of fossil fuels between 1990 and 2010. While coal usage saw a steady decline, the demand for oil did not fall as rapidly as predicted. However, a sudden drop in the price of natural gas in 2005 led to its widespread adoption across the industrial sector.
