Between 1970 and 1980, energy consumption by United States industry peaked and then declined, so that by 1980 total industrial use of energy was below the 1970 level even though total industrial output had grown substantially in the same period.

Many industrial users of energy had paid little attention to energy conservation prior to 1970.
Industrial output grew less rapidly from 1970 to 1980 than it had from 1960 to 1970.
