1. Energy Information Administration, Federal Energy Subsidies: Direct and Indirect Interventions in Energy Markets, SR/EMEU/92-02 (Washington, DC, November 1992). 2. Energy Information Administration, Federal Energy Market Interventions 1999: Primary Energy, SR/OIAF/99-03 (Washington, DC, September 1999). Primary energy is all energy consumed by end users, excluding electricity but including the energy consumed by electricity generators. 3. Transformation refers to the production of electricity by transforming other forms of energy into electrical energy. End use refers to any application by which energy is consumed in the residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors of the economy. 4. Another R&D project, Advanced Turbine Systems, was treated as a primary energy element in the previous report because of its emphasis on efficient consumption of fossil fuels. 5. The summary estimates shown here are for subsidies in a single year, fiscal year 1999. Comparisons with EIA's 1992 report rely on data for two years, fiscal year 1992 and fiscal year 1999. Consequently, comparisons across energy sources and uses may not adequately describe cumulative or historical effects, for which the allocations could differ. 6. The $6.2 billion estimate represents the sum of the values for energy transformation and end use in this report and the values for primary energy published in Energy Information Administration, Federal Financial Interventions and Subsidies in Energy Markets 1999: Primary Energy, SR/OIAF/99-03 (Washington, DC, September 1999). 7. See Chapter 5 of this report, page 61. 8. Neither EIA's September 1999 report nor EIA's report of November 1992 evaluated the full costs of trust fund programs because of the difficulty in determining the actuarial sufficiency of the excise taxes. |
