12/44.
3Natural gas, plus a small amount of supplemental gaseous fuels. Notes:  ·  Data are for emissions from energy consumption for electricity generation and useful thermal
output.  ·  See "Useful Thermal Output" in Glossary.  ·  Totals may not equal sum of components due to
independent rounding.
