The report presents U.S. energy consumption and supply for two years, 1984 and 2000. In 1984, the United States consumed about 73.7 quadrillion British thermal units of energy. The report projects a U.S. energy consumption of about 84 quadrillion British thermal units in the year 2000. The 84 quadrillion British thermal units consists of 13 million barrels per day of petroleum, 18 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 3.5 trillion kilowatt hours of electricity. Coal production is projected at 1,405 million tons which includes exports. The data presented in the 1985 forecast cover the spectrum of U.S. energy requirements and focus on the end use of energy for operational purposes, e.g., highway transportation, space heating, lighting, and construction. The report's tables provide data on fuel consumption by types and energy content for 1984 and as projected for the year 2000. End users of energy in the United States currently spend $454 billion annually for energy. This includes direct taxes.
