The Bloomberg daily piece on natty has repeated the below statement for about the last week or so: "Industrial and commercial demand combine for 43 percent of U.S. gas consumption, while electric-power generation accounts for 29 percent of use, according to the U.S. Energy Department." Every time I read that I wonder, wouldn't it be interesting to drill down on the stats a bit further, and determine how much electric power generation is used for industrial and commercial purposes, vs. residential. Once that were determined, one could finally see how much natty demand (whether direct demand for gas or indirect demand as result of gas-fired electricity demand) was industrial/commercial vs. residential. Does anybody know how much electric power is used for industrial/commercial purposes vs. residential? For extra credit, can you also tell me how these stats stood in '01?
