Statistical Abstract of the United States
http://www.census.gov/prod/2001pubs/statab/sec19.pdf
list for 1999 35.4% "residential and commercial", 37.8% "industrial and
misc." and 26.8% "transportation". Total 96.6 quadrillion BTU (or, in
more sensible units, roughly 9*10^12 kilowatt/hours, or about 30,000
kilowatt/hours per year per person).
Ah, another table. Residential consumption only at 10.6 quadrillion BTU
per year. Call it 10% of total energy consumption.
