In 1976 and 1977 foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United States energy sector remained small relative to total domestic investment and significantly less than U.S investment in the energy sources and supplies of foreign countries. Virtually all FDI in domestic energy sources and supplies was from Western European and Canadian companies, with a small but increasing volume from Latin America. FDI in U.S. petroleum declined in 1976 to $5.9 billion compared to $6.2 billion in 1975. There was minimal new FDI in coal, the nuclear fuel cycle, and alternative energy sources. The preponderance of new energy FDI represented reinvestments of U.S. earnings; offsetting reductions resulted from accounting adjustments and sales of U.S. properties by foreign interests to U.S. purchasers.
