Kansas Consumption of Energy
Figure 8--Consumption of energy in Kansas by fuel source, 1960-1999. Since 1960, natural gas consumption has fluctuated and the consumption of coal has increased dramatically. Since Wolf Creek Generating Station came on-line in 1985, it has powered a significant part of the state's electricity. Note: in this figure, the years fall between the hatch marks (EIA, State Energy Data Report, DOE/EIA-0214, various years).
Figure 9--Energy consumption in Kansas, by fuel source, 2000 (data comes from EIA, State Energy Data 2000, which was not fully available at press time; estimated consumption data for individual fuels was available in various tables at http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/states/_multi_states.html).
Figure 10--Overview of petroleum consumption in Kansas, 2000. Transportation fuels (motor gasoline and distillate fuel, or diesel) account for the vast majority of the state's consumption (EIA, State Energy Data Report, DOE/EIA-0214).
Figure 11--Kansas energy consumption by sector, 1999. The transportation and industrial sectors are the largest consumers in Kansas (EIA, State Energy Data Report, 1999, most recent data available). Total Kansas energy consumption, 1999: 1,050 trillion Btu.
Figure 12--Sources of energy consumed in Kansas, 2000. Over 55% of the energy consumed in Kansas comes from other states (based on various EIA data).
Figure 13--Energy needed to fuel the Kansas economy, 1977 to 1998. The Kansas economy has become more efficient in its use of energy since the late 1970's.
