The graph below shows the spending on research into renewable sources of energy in 
four countries between 1975 and 2000. Summarise the information by selecting and 
reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. 
The given line graph illustrates the spending patterns of four countries in conducting 
research about renewable sources of energy from 1975 to 2000. It is clear that Switzerland 
spent the most among the given four countries, on research into renewable sources of energy 
throughout the entire period.
From 1975 to 1980, the Swiss spending on research increased from nothing to $2 per person. 
From then on, the figure climbed steadily and reached $5 per person by 2000. On the other 
hand, the UK spent the least throughout the period except for a brief time in 1990 when 
Spain spent the least. By 2000, the Britisher’s spending on research reached an all time low of 
0.2 dollars per person.
As for the remaining two countries, Spain’s research budget fluctuated at around $1 for the 
entire period, spending just a little bit more than UK. Denmark’s spending was around $1.2 
per person in 1980 and remained steady for ten years. From 1990, the amount climbed 
steeply until reaching its all time high of $3.5 per person in 2000.
Overall, the four countries spent varying amounts on research into renewable sources of 
energy, but The Swiss and the Danes showed the maximum interest in these alternative 
sources.
