   Notes: •Values for the industry and nonutilities for 2000 are preliminary; utility values for 2000 are final.  Values for 1999 and prior years are final.  •Does not include petroleum coke consumption.  The utility petroleum coke consumption was 1,132 thousand short tons in 2000 and 1,608 thousand short tons in 1999.  The nonutility petroleum coke consumption was 3,021 thousand short tons in 2000 and 2,915 thousand short tons in 1999.  •Due to restructuring of the electric power industry, electric utilities are selling plants to the nonutility sector.  This will affect comparisons of current and historical data.•Nonutility data for 1998 and prior years are for fuels consumed to produce both electricity and steam.  •DATAs may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
