Energy intensity by sector, United States, 1990 to 2012
Amount of energy needed to produce one unit of economic output. A lower number means that economic value isproduced in a less energy-intensive way. This data is measured in megajoules per dollar, adjusted for inflation anddifferences in living costs between countries.
