KEY: Btu = British thermal unit; R = revised.
a Sum of primary consumption, electricity,
and electrical system energy losses categories.
b Sum of coal, natural gas, and petroleum
categories.
c Consumed in the operation of pipelines, primarily in
compressors, and small amounts consumed as vehicle fuel.
d Includes most nonutility use of fossil
fuels to produce electricity and small amounts (about 0.1 quadrillion Btu per
year since 1990) of renewable energy in the form of ethanol blended into
motor gasoline.
e Incurred in the generation, transmission,
and distribution of electricity plus plant use and unaccounted for electrical
system energy losses.
f From 1980, small amounts of coal consumed
for transportation are included in industrial sector consumption.
NOTES
Energy
consumption (all sectors) differs from totals in table 4-2 for 1990 and
subsequent years.
Table 4-2 includes primary energy consumption only.
