^a	Conventional hydroelectric power only. Hydroelectricity generated by pumped storage is not included in renewable energy.
^b	Fuel ethanol and biodiesel supply represent domestic production only. Fuel ethanol and biodiesel consumption in the transportation sector include production, stock change, and imports less exports. Some biodiesel may be consumed in the residential sector in heating oil.
