The main cause of the 1993 record energy expenditures was a large increase in the use of natural gas and a substantial increase in its cost. Wisconsin's total energy use in 1993 increased 3.9 percent over 1992. More vehicles driving more miles in less efficient cars also pushed up energy use. Use of all fuels increased in Wisconsin in 1993. All these figures and more are contained in the Wisconsin Energy Statistics - 1994, revised annually by the Wisconsin Energy Bureau.
