Identification of Trend:

Over time, as awareness of environmental issues (like climate change, pollution from non - renewable energy) grew, and with technological advancements in renewable energy (e.g., solar, wind, biomass technologies becoming more efficient and cost - effective), the demand for and use of renewable energy in CT likely increased from 1960 to 2011. Also, policy changes (such as government incentives for renewable energy development, regulations to reduce reliance on fossil fuels) in later decades (especially from the 1970s energy crisis onwards and into the 21st century) would have pushed for more renewable energy adoption, contributing to an upward trend. If we consider specific renewable sources: Hydropower (a traditional renewable) may have had a more stable base, while newer renewables like solar and wind saw growth as technology improved. Overall, the general trend is an increase in renewable energy use over this period.
