Some energy stats sent my way...

US crude oil production (quadrillion BTU's)
1970 20.4
1998 13.2
US crude oil imports
1970 8.4
1998 26.2

per capita energy production (mil. BTU)
1970 304
1997 270
per capita energy consumption
1970 327
1997 352 (I guess this means we're less energy efficient than in 1970... yawn, open the spr.)
energy consumption per dollar of GDP (1,000 btu)
1970 19.6
1997 13.1

per capita carbon dioxide production from fossil fuels(tons of carbon) 1998
US 21
UK 9
Japan 9
France 6
Austria 8
Mexico 4 (methane from frijoles excluded, obviously)

per capita energy consumption (mil btu) 1998
US 352
UK 171
Japan 169
France 166
Austria 160
Mexico 59

"Higher energy costs will hurt other economies more than ours." I'm sure this is true.

Heinz:
I'll defer to your interpretation. I always thought when it 'breaks' away like that, it's considered a shooting star? on PVN and CIEN both???

Thanks!
