This paper summarizes the basic quantitative results of recent U.S. Commerce Department energy forecasting efforts. A preliminary version of this paper was originally published in 1976, and has been revised annually since July, 1980. The preliminary version is documented in three volumes which are available from the National Technical Information Service. These reports are listed in the bibliography. The data presented in the paper 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 tables provide data on fuel consumption by types and energy content for 1982 and as projected for the year 2000. The projection calls for 85 quadrillion British thermal units for year 2000 and includes 112,000 megawatt of nuclear power.
