U.S. Energy Sources and Uses

Here is a very interesting chart from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, that gives a great panoramic view of how energy flows in the U.S (click on it to expand).  Note that a quad means 1 quadrillion Btu -- that's 1 with 15 zeros.


Bloomberg.com also has an interactive version of the same graphic, with links to additional information, created by John Tozzi and David Yanofsky --most interesting: U.S. Energy: Where It’s From, Where It Goes, and What’s Wasted

I'm glad you like the Liquidity Lifeline's data explorer.

I wanted to let you know that I have also made an interactive graphic out of this LLNL data. You can use it here http://www.bloomberg.com/data-visualization/americas-energy-where-it-comes-from-where-it-goes/
