The 1996 Data book provides backup data in tabular form for the 1996 Edition of the GRI Baseline Projection of U.S. Energy Supply and Demand, which has been adopted as a major input in the planning cycle leading to the development program. The baseline projection represents the GRI planning outlook for the economic and energy supply and demand situation to the year 2015. In the 1996 edition of the projection, the philosophy of not expecting to see a sustained, significant real increase in the long-term crude oil price trend is extended to all energy forms. As a result, real energy prices increase very little in the 1996 baseline. The baseline foreshadows an era of low energy prices. The 1996 edition continues to indicate that natural gas will play a major role in an increasingly competitive energy mix well into the next century.
