Annual Report to Congress, 1978. Volume 3, Supplement 1. Midterm Energy Projections for the United States

摘要

This EIA report is a summary of the key parameters, assumptions, and data inputs that were used to generate the 1985, 1990, and 1995 projections for the 1978 Annual Report to Congress. It includes a discussion of the projection series approach, overviews the modeling system, and presents the technical detail for the various series of energy projections. These projections are based on an assumption of continuing current energy legislation and a range of assumptions on future energy production, consumption, prices, and associated variables. The use of several different scenarios in making the projections is designed to reflect the inherent uncertainties in projecting energy supply and demand. Appendices include the complete computer printouts and maps. (ERA citation 04:056737)
