The graph shows the demand for energy and the energy available from fossil fuels in Freedonia from 1985 to 2005.

SAMPLE ANSWER
The graph illustrates the trend in energy demand and the availability of fossil fuel-based energy in Freedonia from 1985 to 2005.
Overall, energy demand showed a consistent increase, while energy availability fluctuated and eventually declined, leading to a widening gap between supply and demand by 2005.
In 1985, energy demand stood at approximately 5 units, slightly higher than the energy available, which was around 4 units. By 1990, demand dropped to 2 units, while availability increased to match it. Availability peaked at 7 units in 1995, while demand remained stable at around 2 units.
However, from 1995 to 2005, the trends reversed. Energy availability dropped sharply to 3 units and stayed constant, while demand surged. By 2005, the demand had more than tripled to about 7 units, creating a significant shortfall.
This data highlights a growing energy crisis in Freedonia, with demand far outpacing the supply of fossil fuel energy by the end of the period.
