Whether a nation makes a dollar of its Gross National Product in a factory, a bank, a mine, or a wheat field, making that dollar takes energy, and the more dollars it can generate with a given amount of energy the better. That's the concept of energy efficiency, and this is the first of four issues of Energy Detente examining it. This issue looks at 19 industrial market economies, and finds that the United States isn't quite the energy glutton it once was. The next issue will look at the upper middle-income nations (as defined by the World Bank). The third issue will cover the low- and middle-income nations, and the fourth will feature the high-income oil exporters, and a wrapup. This issue also contains the following: (1) ED refining netback data for the US Gulf and West Coasts, Rotterdam, and Singapore for early July 1988; and (2) ED price/tax series for countries of the Western Hemisphere, July 1988 edition. 25 figures, 5 tables.
