                      The Energy Information Administration (EIA) is the  independent statistical and analytical agency within the Department of  Energy.  EIA provides timely,  high-quality energy information and prepares objective, transparent analyses  for the use of Congress, the Administration, and the public.  EIA does not, however, take positions on  policy issues.  Because of EIA’s  statutory independence with respect to the content of its energy information  program, the analysis presented herein is strictly its own and should not be  construed as representing the views of the U.S. Department of Energy or the  Administration.
                      The model projections in this report are not statements of  what *will* happen but of what *might* happen, given the assumptions and  methodologies used.  The reference case  projections are business-as-usual trend forecasts, given known technology,  technological and demographic trends, and current laws and regulations.  Thus, they provide a policy-neutral starting  point that can be used to analyze policy initiatives.  EIA does not propose, advocate, or speculate  on future legislative and regulatory changes.   All laws are assumed to remain as currently enacted; however, the  impacts of scheduled regulatory changes, when defined, are reflected.
