That I can answer: petroleum and NGPL (Natural Gas Plant Liquids) Inputs: 15.0 quads U.S. production 23.8 quads inputs 38.8 total Outputs: 25.7 (60%) transportation 5.7 (15%) non-fuel (plastic feedstocks and so on) 3.3 (9%) industrial 2.2 (6%) residential 1.2 (3%) electric power generation 1% misc. See: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/NRELenergyover.pdfLast page. Note that transpiration is by far the least efficient sector. Most of the oil goes into waste heat.
