This is the fourth in a series of annual reports on the supply and uses of energy in Wisconsin. The purpose of this report is to describe a data base for use in analyzing the current Wisconsin energy system and assessing the impacts of possible changes to that system. The survey is not designed to provide either forecasts of future energy use in the state or analyses of specific energy policy issues. The 1975 Wisconsin Energy Survey is structured as follows: Section I describes the major physical, demographic, and economic characteristics of the state that impact significantly on the energy system along with a summary statement of energy use during the years 1970-1974. This is followed in Section II by a detailed analysis of the energy supplied to the state. These data are arranged according to primary fuels. Section III examines the production and supply of electricity in Wisconsin. Section IV follows with a disaggregation of energy use by the transportation, industrial, residential, and commercial sectors. The last section on air pollution has been added because air pollution is a major by-product of energy use, and the authors feel it should be included in future analyses of the energy system. Additional data are compiled in eight appendixes on: petroleum; natural gas; electricity; method of calculating railroad energy use; industrial and commercial end uses; residential end uses; consumer and wholesale price indices; and an explanation of date changes, 1972-1975. An equivalents table follows a bibliography. (MCW)
