In 2009, the carbon intensity of the electric power sector decreased by nearly 4.3%, primarily due to fuel switching as the price of coal rose 6.8% Increased use of natural gas in place of coal caused the sector’s carbon intensity to decrease. In 2007, total consumption of petroleum-based fuels averaged 14,287 thousand barrels per day.
