Overview

Figure 1. Energy Overview

The United States was self-sufficient in energy until the late 1950s when
energy consumption began to outpace domestic production. From 1970 to 2000,
U.S. energy consumption grew 45 percent while production rose only 13
percent. The Nation imported more energy to fill the gap.
Figure 2. Energy Consumption per Person

Energy use per person stood at 215 million Btu in 1949. The rate generally
increased until the oil price shocks of the mid-1970s and early 1980s
caused the pattern to reverse for a few years. The trend in the 1990s was
upward again, reaching 350 million Btu per person in 2000.

Figure 3. Energy Use per Dollar of Gross Domestic Product

Over the second half of the 20th century, the rate at which energy was
consumed per dollar of the economy's output of goods and services fell
dramatically. By the end of the century, the rate was half of the
mid-century level. The rate in 2000 was 44 percent below that in 1970.
Figure 4. Energy Consumption by Type

Most of the energy consumed in the United States comes from fossil fuels.
Renewable energy resources supply a relatively small but steady portion. In
the late 1950s, nuclear fuel began to be used to generate electricity, and,
by the late 1980s, contributed about the same share as renewable energy.
