a Discontinuity in data
between earlier years and 1990 is due to attempts to include sector
consumption of renewable energy beginning in that year.
KEY: Btu = British thermal unit; R = revised.
NOTES
The
data for residential, commercial, and industrial sectors include only fossil
fuels consumed directly. Most
renewable fuels are not included. The data for the transportation sector
includes only fossil and renewable fuels consumed directly. The data for electric utilities includes
all fuels (fossil, nuclear, geothermal, hydro, and other renewables) used by
electric utilities. Due to a lack of consistent monthly historical data, some
renewable energy resources are not included in this table. The totals in table 4-4 are the best
numbers for total U.S. energy consumption from all sources.
Numbers may not add to totals due to rounding.
