“In 2009, U.S. primary energy production fell 1 percent to 73 quadrillion Btu. Renewable energy production reached 8 quadrillion Btu in 2009, with wind energy registering the largest year-to-year percentage increase among renewable sources. U.S. primary energy consumption fell to 95 quadrillion Btu in 2009, down from the all-time high of 102 quadrillion Btu in 2007 and 5 percent below the 2008 level. From 2008 to 2009, U.S. energy net imports fell 12 percent to 23 quadrillion Btu, and carbon dioxide emissions from energy consumption fell 7 percent from 2008 to 2009, due primarily to a decrease in consumption of coal and petroleum. The Annual Energy Review 2009 provides EIA’s most comprehensive look at integrated energy statistics. It covers all major energy sources and all energy-consuming sectors of the U.S. economy from 1949 through 2009.”
