Survey of US and total world production, proved resources, and remaining recoverable resources of fossil fuels and uranium as of December 31, 1982
The report updates previous IGT reports on US and world conventional fossil fuel and uranium proved reserves and remaining recoverable resources. It also provides data on current and cumulative production of these nonrenewable energy sources and their life expectancies at selected annual consumption growth rates. The US is endowed with roughly 22% of the world's proved reserves of conventional fossil fuels and about 9% of the uranium in the free world. It is particularly fortunate in having vast amounts of coal, oil shale, and peat. Although they present difficult economic and environmental problems in mining and utilization, a serious effort should be made to use these resources to a much greater extent.
