US DATA: EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2012 releases Reference case
projections and 29 alternative cases which show how different
assumptions regarding market, policy, and technology drivers affect
projections of energy production, consumption, technology. Text:
“Overall U.S. energy consumption grows at an average annual rate of 0.3
percent from 2010 through 2035 in the Reference case. The U.S.
does not return to the levels of energy demand growth experienced in the
20 years prior to the 2008-2009 recession, because of more moderate
projected economic growth and population growth.” See
