Abstract :
The input-output structure of the United States economy is used to obtain the energy required to produce consumer commodities. Calculations are based on energy sector inverse coefficients and the average energy per dollar of sales of the energy sectors. While variations between sectors are not negligible, they are considerably less than initially anticipated.
