Dataset

Want Census data in a manageable format? Look no further – this data set of Energy Consumption, by End-Use Sector (1950 to 2005) has been meticulously processed to deliver US Census data in a simplified, clean format.

The US Census Bureau distributes Statistical Abstract files in Microsoft Excel format, presenting numerous complexities with navigating the lengthy datasets. The Infochimps have simplified over 3,000 US Census Bureau data tables for a convenient and consistent data navigation experience.

This dataset consists of a table of 66 rows and 12 columns.

31.98 represents 31,980,000,000,000,000 Btu. Btu=British thermal unit. For residential and commercial, industrial, and transportation, represents consumption of fossil fuels only. For definition of Btu, see source and text, this section. See Appendix III

Footnotes

1. Commercial sector fuel use, including that at commercial combined-heat-and-power
   (CHP) and commercial electricity-only plants.
2. Industrial sector fuel use, including that at industrial combined-heat-and-power (CHP)
   and industrial electricity-only plants.
3. A balancing item. The sum of primary consumption in the five energy-use sectors equals the sum of
   total consumption in the four end-use sectors. However, total energy consumption does not equal the sum
   of the sectoral components due to: 1) for 1949 forward, the use of sector-specific conversion factors for
   natural gas and coal; 2) for 1989 forward, the undercounting of coal consumption at “Other Power
   Producers” in the energy-use sectors; and 3) for 1999 and 2000, the double-counting of
   fossil-fuel consumption at nonutilities in both the electric power sector and the end-use sectors.
4. Preliminary.
   NOTE
   Primary consumption includes coal, natural gas, petroleum, nuclear electric power,
   hydroelectric power, wood, waste, alcohol fuels, geothermal, solar, wind, net imports of coal coke, and net
   imports of electricity. Total consumption includes primary consumption, electricity end-use, and electrical
   system energy losses. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
