Estimated U.S. Energy Consumption in 2021: 97.3 Quads (from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory)
The "blocks" on the left are energy sources (2020 quads in parentheses):
Solar: 1.5 quads (1.25 quads)
Nuclear: 8.13 quads (8.25 quads)
Hydro: 2.28 quads (2.59 quads)
Wind: 3.33 quads (3.01 quads)
Geothermal: 0.206 quads (0.214 quads)
Natural Gas: 31.3 quads (31.5 quads)
Coal: 10.5 quads (9.21 quads)
Biomass: 4.83 quads (4.53 quads)
Petroleum: 35.1 quads (32.2 quads)
The pink blocks on the right are end-use sectors (note that electricity is NOT an end-use sector) 2020 use is in parentheses:
Residential: 11.7 quad (11.5 quads)
Commercial: 9.0 quad (78.66 quads)
Industrial: 26 quads (25.3 quads)
Transportation: 26.9 quads (24.3 quads)
The grey blocks to the far right indicate whether or not the energy was successfully used ("Energy Services") or wasted ("Rejected Energy"). 2020 use is in parentheses:
Rejected Energy: 65.4 quads (62.3 quads)
Energy Services: 31.6 quad (30.6 quads)
All of the numbers in the chart indicate total energy flows or uses.
