This report contains statistics of U.S. energy use by state and region in 1972. It presents information on energy consumption, expenditures, and prices using three systems of classification, respectively involving energy source, function, and sector. The energy source classification includes petroleum products, natural gas, electricity, coal, hydroelectric power, and nuclear power, with the last three sources often combined into one category. Petroleum products, in turn, are subclassified into gasoline, heating fuels, non-gasoline transportation fuels, and products employed in industrial processing, energy production, and miscellaneous uses. The categories in the functional classification are residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, electric utility use, non-electric utility energy production, and municipal-institutional use. The sector classification consists of household, business, Federal government, and state and local government use. Quantity consumed and expenditures data are presented in the form of amounts of use, per capita levels of use and various indexes and fractions of use relative to national or total levels. Price data appear in the form of prices for specific key products, average costs per unit borne by consumers for groups of products (equal to expenditures divided by corresponding quantities), and price indexes, obtained by weighting state prices by U.S. quantity weights.
