BP Statistical Review of US Energy
http://www.bp.com/centres/energy/us_stat_rev/

"The United States is the world's largest single energy market. It represents more than 25% of world consumption of oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear energy, and ranks first or second in the global production of all four energy sources. In the past few years, US energy markets have been more than usually volatile, which has brought energy policy issues once again to the fore. The challenge facing consumers, producers and policy-makers is to reconcile the need for secure, reliable and easily accessible energy supplies with other social ambitions such as sustainable development and environmental protection."
