1Most data are estimates.  See Note, "Renewable Energy Production and Consumption," at end of
Section 10.		 6See Note 1, "Noncombustible Renewable Energy," at end of section.
2Conventional hydroelectric power, geothermal, solar thermal, photovoltaic, and wind.  See Note 1,
"Noncombustible Renewable Energy," at end of section.		 7See Table 10.1 for a breakdown of individual sources.
3Net imports equal imports minus exports.  A minus sign indicates exports are greater than imports. R=Revised.  P=Preliminary.  (s)=Less than 0.0005 and greater than -0.0005 quadrillion Btu.
4Natural gas only; excludes supplemental gaseous fuels.  See Note 1, "Supplemental Gaseous Fuels,"
at end of Section 6.		 Notes:  ·  See "Primary Energy Consumption" in Glossary.  ·  See Table E1 for estimated energy
consumption for 1635-1945.  ·  See Note 3, "Electricity Imports and Exports," at end of Section 8.
·  Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
5Petroleum products supplied, including natural gas plant liquids and crude oil burned as fuel.  Does
not include biofuels that have been blended with petroleum—biofuels are included in "Biomass."   For
petroleum, product supplied is used as an approximation of petroleum consumption.  See Note 1,
