Where Data Tells the Story

For 61 years, the United States has used more energy than it’s produced. That changed in 2019, when production surpassed consumption — and it’s remained that way since.
This is a bit of an anomaly. The nation made more energy than it’s used twice since data tracking began in 1950: From 1950 to 1953 and again shortly after from 1956 to 1957. US energy production is a mixture of fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and renewable sources of energy.
