Perspectives on the U.S. energy situation and the role of the modular HTGR

Gordon L. Heins

Energy, 1991, vol. 16, issue 1, 1-6

Abstract: Electricity continues to play an increasing role in the U.S. economy. While total energy demand in the U.S. during the 1973 through 1988 period grew by less than 10%, the demand for electricity grew by 50%. During the same period the overall increase in the gross national product was 46%. These figures Indicate that the U.S. economy has become more energy efficient, largely through the substitution of electric for nonelectric energy.
