Energy forecasts for 1985

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5057150
This report reviews and compares energy forecasts for 1985 that were made between 1976 and 1984. The forecasts are presented from an historical perspective to trace the progression of energy legislation and events that contributed to changes in the forecasts. The report is a summary of the data and forecast analyses published over the years in the referenced reports. As background, energy forecasts for 1985 made by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) are compared with other forecasts from the private sector to identify errors and misconceptions about the energy future that were commonly held by the energy community. The mid-case or base case forecasts are presented. The body of the report discusses the 9-year trend of base case energy forecasts published by EIA. The forecasts are discussed by energy sources - oil, natural gas, coal, and electricity - and by three different periods of forecasting: 1976-1978, 1979-1982, and 1983-1984. Appendix A contains a list of page numbers in the referenced EIA forecast reports where the yearly forecasts may be found.
