OIL
The United States had 22.0 billion barrels of proved oil reserves as of January 1, 2002, twelfth highest in the world. These reserves are concentrated overwhelmingly (over 80%) in four states -- Texas (25% including the state's reserves in the Gulf of Mexico), Alaska (24%), California (21%), and Louisiana (14% including the state's reserves in the Gulf of Mexico). U.S. proven oil reserves have declined by around 20% since 1990, with the largest single-year decline (1.6 billion barrels) occurring in 1991.
NATURAL GAS
As of January 1, 2002, the United States had estimated proven natural gas reserves of 177 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), or 3.2% of world reserves (6th in the world). In 2001, the United States produced 19.1 Tcf of dry natural gas. Also during 2001, the United States consumed 22.7 Tcf and imported (net) around 3.5 Tcf of natural gas, mainly from Canada. Overall, the United States depends on natural gas for about 23% of its total primary energy requirements (oil accounts for around 39% and coal for 23%
Nuclear
In 2001, U.S. nuclear power generation reached a record 769 billion kWh, or about 20% of total U.S. electricity generation, second only to coal in the U.S. electricity
generation mix.
Hydroelectricity/Other "Renewables"
The United States consumed 6.2 quadrillion Btu of renewable energy in 2001, about 6% of total domestic gross energy demand, with the largest component used for electricity production. Hydropower made up around 39% of total U.S. renewable consumption in 2001, with biofuels (including wood and waste), solar, wind, and geothermal making up most of the remainder.
