COAL, OIL, & GAS Stats from Geohive: US total energy consumption ? ranked 1st worldwide US oil consumption ? ranked 1st worldwide US coal consumption ? ranked 2nd worldwide (behind China) US natural gas consumption ? ranked 1st worldwide I. Oil (15-6) Most important fossil fuel in US economy: used mostly for transportation A. Petroleum or crude oil (oil as comes out of ground) 1.Produced by decomposition of deeply buried dead organic matter from plants and animals under high temperatures and pressures over millions of years 2.Consists mainly of hydrocarbons, with small amounts of sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen impurities 3.Often trapped with natural gas 4.In pores and cracks in rocks, if enough pressure create a gusher when drill B.
