^a	Conventional hydroelectric power only. Hydroelectricity generated by pumped storage is not included in renewable energy.
^b	Fuel ethanol supply includes production but excludes imports, exports, and stock change. Fuel ethanol consumption in transportation sector represents total fuel ethanol blended into motor gasoline.
