for what it's worth, I used Excel to calculate the "real energy

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT, table B-60.)
results: using XL's graphing facility, the linear and exponential
trends over this period were slightly downward. The logarithmic and
power trends were slighly upward, with most of the increase
happening in the early 1960s. The 6th degree polynominal shows
lower real prices in the 2000s than in the 1960s.
