Oil’s share of U S energy steady amid crisis
Washington notes oil accounted for 46.8 percent of U S energy use in 1973 and 46.7 percent in the first eight months of 1976. Despite coal and nuclear gains, oil still dominates. While solar and geothermal show potential, they remain costly or impractical. By year’s end, imports may rise to about 42 percent of total consumption, up from 36 percent in 1973.
