   [a] Includes generation of electricity by cogenerators,
independent power producers, and small power producers. Renewable
consumption at other industrial sites not connected to the grid is
also included.
   [b] Excludes net imports.
   [c] EIA estimates.
   * Less than 0.5 trillion Btu.
   Note: Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent
rounding.
