1Electricity net generation from conventional hydroelectric power, geothermal, solar, and wind; consumption of wood, waste, and alcohol fuels; geothermal heat pump and direct use energy; and solar thermal direct use energy. 6"Alcohol" is ethanol blended into motor gasoline.
2Natural gas, plus a small amount of supplemental gaseous fuels that cannot be identified separately. 7Included in "Conventional Hydroelectric Power."
3Petroleum products supplied, including natural gas plant liquids and crude oil burned as fuel. Beginning in 1993, also includes ethanol blended into motor gasoline. R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available. (s)=Less than 0.0005 and greater than -0.0005 quadrillion Btu.
4Beginning in 1993, ethanol blended into motor gasoline is included in both "Petroleum" and "Wood, Waste, Alcohol," but is counted only once in total consumption. Notes: · 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.
5Pumped storage facility production minus energy used for pumping. Sources: Tables 5.12, 6.1, 7.1, 7.7, 8.1, 8.2a, 10.1, A4, A5, and A6.
