General

• Project for the Year 2030: to create strategy for less dependence on fossil fuels (and thus less carbon dioxide), and more dependence upon renewable energy sources in the United States for the year 2030.
• US population and projection (from C. Hartley, data from Census Bureau)
• I have reproduced the U.S. Energy Flow 2001 diagram from the folks at Energy & Environment Directorate at Lawrence Livermore Labs so that it can be modified for 2030. It is the one we looked at in class, more detailed than those other folks at EIA with their wimpy monochrome chart.
• Energy Production/Consumption Projections (for US?) to 2030 from unknow source (need the reference-- Trip Hoar). They are clearly wrong for price of crude oil. And a "cool PowerPoint slideshow of the projected #s" which indeed seems to include some projections for 2030 from the Energy Information Administration folks

Energy Information Administration The U.S. Department of Energy website for energy information of all kinds. Lots of reliable information. An Energy flow Diagram for 2004 Input and Consumption for the United States for 2004 from the fine folks at EIA.

Annual Energy Review (AER) - long-term historical statistics all in one place from the Energy Information Administration. About a third of the way down under "Flow Diagrams:" there are links to pretty much all the information that we need for consumption & production.

US Department of Energy with Energy Sources, Energy Efficiency, The Environment, Prices & Trends etc. (Thank you Kerry Sisson!)

An energy calculator for units conversion for BTU, Joules, tons, gallons etc. for coal, petrolium, natural gas, electricity from the EIA people. Put in the number and they do the conversion. (Thank you Dustin Jones!)

We need data on consumption & production for US and for the World.

Also we need information on known reserves.
