Trends in Renewable Energy Consumption and Electricity 2009
Mar 31, 2011
Despite an economic recession and a significant fall in overall energy demand/consumption, the use of renewable fuels grew strongly in 2009. This growth has been supported by Federal and State programs, including federal tax credits, state renewable portfolio standards, and a federal renewable fuels standard. This chapter details renewable energy consumption in 2009 after explaining the unusual decrease in total energy consumption over the past two years.

Natural Gas Monthly
Mar 29, 2011
The March issue of the NGM, featuring data for January 2011, is now available. The preliminary estimate of total consumption of natural gas in the United States totaled 2,872 billion cubic feet (Bcf) for the month, the highest on record. The high levels of residential and commercial consumption, 971 and 523 Bcf, respectively, were the main contributing factor. They were primarily driven by colder than normal temperatures in many regions of the country as natural gas home customer-weighted heating degree days were 3.9 percent above the historical January average. However, industrial consumption was also strong at 641 Bcf, the highest level since January 2008.
