Of all the types of data presented in the Energy Information Administration's State Energy Data Report 1999: Consumption Estimates (SEDR99), few are more interesting than the States' total consumption rankings and their per-capita consumption rankings. Texas, for instance, was first in total consumption in 1999 and fifth in per-capita use (see table). On the other hand, California (the biggest State in terms of population) ranked forty-ninth in per-capita consumption even though it was second in total consumption. Texas and California together accounted for more than one-fifth of the Nation's total energy consumption in 1999. Alaska, with only a few hundred thousand residents, ranked 35th in total consumption, but its per-capita consumption was three times the national average. This edition adds 2 years of new State-level data and extends the database to 4 decades (1960-1999) for long-term time-series analyses. Detailed data are reported by economic sector (residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, and electric utility) and for all energy sources (coal, natural gas, petroleum products, renewables, electricity), in terms of physical units (short tons, cubic feet, barrels, gallons, cords, kilowatthours) and in British thermal units to allow for cross-fuel comparisons. Extensive documentation explains the sources of the data, the methodologies used in estimating the data, and data definitions. Appendices also provide thermal and physical conversion factors, population data, and carbon dioxide emission factors for coal. A glossary explains key energy terms.
