Georgia Energy Use Up; Individual Use Drops
Thursday, July 10th, 2014
The amount of energy individual Georgians use continues to decline while overall demand rose, according to a recent state report that also shows more energy is used for transportation than manufacturing or farming.
The Georgia Energy Report was released last month by the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority, a state agency that distributes grants and loans for conservation programs and the construction of water and sewer facilities.
Personal use of gasoline, electricity and other forms of energy peaked in 1996 at 369 million British thermal units and has fallen to 305 million Btus according to the latest federal figures cited in the report.
