US primary energy consumption by Source and Sector, 2005
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the US Government has published a clear graph on the energy use in the US in 2005. It links primary energy sources (Petroleum, Natural Gas, Coal, Renewable Energy, and Nuclear Electric Power) with the sectors in which they are consumed (Residential and Commercial, Transportation, Industrial, and Electric Power). Numbers are given in quadrillion Btu (British thermal unit). For the convenience of European readers: one quadrillion Btu is the equivalent of approximately 1,055 million TJ or 293 TWh.
