Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5997791
This report presents US energy consumption and supply for two years - 1982 and 2000. In 1982 the United States consumed about 70.9 quadrillion British thermal units of energy. The report projects a US energy consumption of about 85 quadrillion British thermal units by year 2000. The 85 quadrillion British thermal units consists of 13 million barrels per day of petroleum, 18 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 3.4 trillion kilowatt hours of electricity. Coal production is projected at 1345 million tons which includes exports. The data presented in the 1983 forecast cover the spectrum of US 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 1982 and as projected for the year 2000.
