The use of oil and natural gas in the United States grew rapidly. Unlike coal, their use was not significantly damaged during the Great Depression. By the mid-1900s oil and gas were widely used in space heating, electric power generation, and as transportation fuels. Demand for oil and gas grew rapidly and they each surpassed coal in importance ...

In 1865, the English economist William Stanley Jevons observed that technological improvements that increased the efficiency of coal-use led to the increased consumption of coal in a wide range of industries. He argued that, contrary to common intuition, technological progress could not be relied upon to reduce fuel consumption. [4] [5]
