OSTI ID:6026695

In 1983, US total energy expenditures in current dollars were $404.9 billion, down 3.7 percent from $420.5 billion in 1982. The downturn in energy expenditures in 1983 represents a reversal of the year-to-year upward trend that occurred in energy expenditures through 1982. Energy expenditures in constant dollars fell even more - 7.3 percent from the 1982 level. In 1983, 68 percent of the money spent on primary energy (i.e., excluding electricity but including the energy consumed by electric utilities) was for petroleum, 23 percent for natural gas, 9 percent for coal, and about 0.6 percent for nuclear fuel. Despite the predominance of petroleum in recent US energy expenditures, gradual change has occurred, as a decreased proportion of the energy bill has gone for petroleum. In 1970, for example, 76 percent of primary energy expenditures were for petroleum, 17 percent for natural gas, 7 percent for coal, and less than 0.1 percent for nuclear fuel.
