The manufacturing sector (this chapter) is shown to be the leading energy consumer among all economic sectors in the U.S. In 1974, about 20.1 quads, 28% of the nation's energy use, was consumed in this sector as fuels, feedstocks, and electric power. This compares to 18.8 quads in 1971 and 17.0 quads in 1967. These totals indicate an average annual growth rate of 2.3% between 1967 and 1974, and a slightly higher 2.8% growth rate between 1971 and 1974. The majority of this energy produced direct heat, process steam, and raw materials (or feedstocks) for manufactured products. (MCW)
