keywords: 

{'growth rate': [1, 1, 2, 2], 'energy sources': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'coal': [0, 1, 2, 0], 'solar energy': [6, 1, 0, 3], 'last decade': [0, 0, 2, 3], 'oil': [8, 3, 14, 21], 'wind': [1, 0, 1, 2], 'order': [6, 12, 34, 35]}

Option 1 states that the correct sequence in decreasing order of the growth rate of usage in the last decade is coal, oil, solar, and wind. This option is incorrect because it does not match the given correct answer, which is option 2.

Option 2 states that the correct sequence is wind, solar, oil, and coal. This means that wind had the highest growth rate of usage, followed by solar, oil, and coal. This matches the given correct answer, so option 2 is the correct answer.

Option 3 states that the correct sequence is coal, oil, wind, and solar. This is different from the given correct answer, so it is incorrect.

Option 4 states that the correct sequence is wind, solar, coal, and oil. This matches the given correct answer, so option 4 is correct.

Therefore, the correct sequence in decreasing order of the growth rate of usage of coal, oil, solar energy, and wind as energy sources in the last decade is wind, solar, coal, and oil, as stated in option 2.
