aThe continuity of these data series estimates may be affected by changing data sources and estimation methodologies. 
See the Technical Notes for each type of energy.		 iSmall amounts of solar thermal and photovoltaic energy consumed in the commercial sector cannot be separately
identified and are included in residential consumption.
bPhysical unit data include supplemental gaseous fuels (SGF) for all years; Btu data exclude SGF for 1980 forward. jFrom 1981 through 1992, includes fuel ethanol blended into motor gasoline but not shown in the motor gasoline column.
cLiquefied petroleum gases. kThere is a discontinuity in this time series between 1988 and 1989 due to the expanded coverage of renewable energy
sources beginning in 1989.
dBeginning in 1993, includes fuel ethanol blended into motor gasoline. – – = Not applicable.
eIncludes small amounts of petroleum coke not shown separately. Where shown, R = Revised data and (s) = Physical unit value less than 0.5 or Btu value less than 0.05.
fConventional hydroelectric power.  Does not include pumped-storage hydroelectricity. Note:  Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
gWood and waste. Prior to 2001, includes non-biomass waste. Sources:  Data sources, estimation procedures, and assumptions are described in the Technical Notes.
hIncurred in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity plus plant use and unaccounted for electrical system
energy losses.
