Abstract
In 1982, US per capita energy consumption decreased sharply for the third consecutive year. Marketed natural-gas production dropped with a severe loss in the industrial market, but domestic crude petroleum production increased slightly. Petroleum liquids consumption was down and crude oil imports fell. Products imports declined, even including additions to the strategic petroleum reserve. Coal production also declined. Trends and/or data are presented for: US primary conventional energy consumption and the gross national product from 1965 to 1982; energy price indexes from 1972 to 1982; inflation relative to selected energy prices; energy imports in quads, value, and products; energy consumption by sector, including allocated electrical energy losses and purchases; relative shares of energy sources in consumption; natural gas consumption by sector, sales, and use; petroleum consumption by sector; residential energy price data; energy product supply, demand, and production; residential and industrial fuel use by type; fossil-fuel prices for electric power plants; ratio of industrial production to industrial energy consumption and value; conservation targets of the most energy-intensive industries; passenger car data; fuel use in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors and in electric power generation by sector; and consumption forecasts for 1983. 11 figures, 21 tables.
