Energy Prices, Residential Sector, Nebraska |
|
The residential sector consists of private households. Energy is consumed primarily for space heating, water heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, cooking, clothes drying, and lighting. Fuel used for motor vehicles by household members is included in the transportation sector. Using an equivalent measure of million British thermal units (Btu), the graph below compares the prices of fuel. The prices are also in nominal dollars to provide a better comparison. In 2005, the highest price was for electricity at $20.94 per million Btu. Kerosene was $15.41, propane was $15.29, heating oil was $15.21, natural gas was $10.56, and coal was $2.52. Since the residential sector's coal consumption was reported as zero in 1999 and 2000, coal's price is shown as $0 for those two years. There are no direct fuel costs for hydroelectric, geothermal, wind, photovoltaic, or solar thermal energy, so no prices are reported. |
