  3. Shifts in U.S. Energy Use Figure 14.1 U.S. energy production by source, 1870 to 1995, showing increased diversity in the sources of energy used. Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  4. World Energy Production Figure 14.2: World energy production showed substantial growth between 1970 and 2000, but with important periods of contraction associated with political tensions or economic decline. Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  5. World Oil Prices Figure 14.3: Between 1970 and 2000, prices have increased generally and also sharply as a result of the 1973 and 1979 energy crises and the 1990 Gulf War. Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  6. Energy Uses Figure 14.4: U.S. Energy consumption by kind of use, 1949 to 2000. Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  7. Energy Sources • Oil and Natural Gas • Coal • Other Fossil Fuels • Nuclear Power • Renewable Energy • Energy Efficiency and Energy Conservation Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  8. Known Recoverable CoalWorld Total: 1,083,000 million metric tons See Table 14.2 in the text for the rest of the top-ten list. Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  9. Known Recoverable OilWorld Total: 1,028 billion barrels See Table 14.2 in the text for the rest of the top-ten list. Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  10. Known Recoverable Natural GasWorld Total: 5,289 trillion cubic feet See Table 14.2 in the text for the rest of the top-ten list. Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  11. Oil and Natural Gas • Production and Consumption • Oil Futures Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  12. U.S. Oil Imports Figure 14.5: From 1950 to 2000, the U.S. continued to produce a significant amount of oil, but imports became an increasing proportion of U.S. consumption. Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  13. Gasoline Prices Figure 14.6: Despite occasional price spikes, gasoline prices, when adjusted for inflation, remain low. Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  14. Oil Recoverability Figure 14.7: Idealized pattern of cumulative production, based on a sigmoidal curve for oil recovery. Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  15. Coal • Production and Consumption • Extraction and Environmental Impacts • Underground mining • Strip or surface mining • Acid mine drainage • Surface Mining Reclamation and Control Act of 1977 Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  16. Coal ReservesRatio of Reserves to Production Ratio for entire world is 225 years.For details on production and reserves, see Table 14.3 in text. Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  17. U.S. Coal Resources Figure 14.8: Each kind of coal – with its particular sulfur content – exhibits a distinct geographic distribution. Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  18. Other Fossil Fuels • Coal gasification or liquefaction • Tar Sands • Shale oil Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  21. Efficiency and Conservation Figure 14.16: Per capita GNP and energy consumption, 1999. Countries above the trend line are less efficient than those below it. (Note log axes.) Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  22. Hydroelectric Generation Figure 14.12: Generation by region, 1980 to 2000. Some regions are increasing steadily, with Latin America having the greatest per-capita use. Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  23. Hydroelectric Potential Figure 14.13: Hydroelectric generation as a proportion of potential. Hydroelectric potential is a function both of total stream discharge and of total vertical potential. Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003

  24. Energy Futures • High-Energy Options • Fossil Fuels • Nuclear and renewable • Low-Energy Options • Conservation-Intensive • Low-growth • Energy Policies for the Future Exploitation, Conservation, Preservation 4e Cutter and Renwick 2003
