   [a] Includes supplemental gaseous fuels.
   [b] Petroleum products supplied, including natural gas plant
liquids and crude oil burned as fuel.
   [c] Represents total pumped-storage facility production minus
energy used for pumping.
   [d] Includes estimates of net imports of electricity known to be
from renewable resources (geothermal and
hydroelectric).
   [e] Includes wood, wood waste, peat, wood sludge, municipal
solid waste, agricultural waste, straw, tires, landfill gases, fish
oils, and/or other waste.
   [f] Includes solar thermal and photovoltaic.
   Notes: Annual totals reflect revised renewable energy estimates,
and some data differ from data published in EIA's Annual Energy
Review 1994 (DOE/EIA-0384(94) (Washington, DC, July 1995). See
data characteristics and caveats section for a detailed
explanation. Totals may not equal sum of components due to
independent rounding.
