Impacts of a 25-Percent Renewable Electricity Standard as Proposed in the American Clean Energy and Security Act Discussion Draft
Apr 27, 2009
This report responds to requests from Chairman Edward Markey, for an analysis of a 25- percent Federal renewable electricity standard (RES). The RES proposal analyzed in this report is included in the discussion draft of broader legislation, the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACESA) of 2009, issued on the Energy and Commerce Committee website at the end of March 2009. The analysis presented in this report starts from an updated version of the Annual Energy Outlook 2009 reference case that reflects the projected impacts of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), enacted in February 2009, and revised economic assumptions.
What are the major sources and users of energy in the United States?
Apr 24, 2009
The major energy sources in the United States are petroleum (oil), natural gas, coal, nuclear, and renewable energy. The major users are residential and commercial buildings, industry, transportation, and electric power generation. The pattern of fuel use varies widely by sector. For example, oil provides 96% of the energy used for transportation, but only 2% of the energy used to generate electric power. Understanding the relationships between the different energy sources and their uses provides insights into many important energy issues.
