The EIA says the US consumed 104.8 quads in the last year on record, so you might want to see if WRI is doing any funny accounting.
"Two men say they're Jesus, One of them must be wrong." - Mark Knopfler.
Your reference to WRI implies that WRI is less credible than the EIA. Can you justify this?
At present I have no basis for believing one over the other, (or either one, for that matter) but the WRI does not detail its methodology as well as the EIA.
That said, I find it interesting that the link you provided showed:
- Fossil fuels jumped .06 quads due to notation f "Includes 0.06 quadrillion Btu of coal coke net imports.", which is not reflected in imports.
- Renewables jumped up .05 quads between input and the breakout after adjustments (deduction) and exports (deduction).
Not a huge jump, but still, unexplained discrepancies make me question the overall validity.
I will investigate more.
