It is very hard to find primary energy data for for Californians.
Very interesting read, Leen! What is the majority of natural gas used for in California if electricity is such a small subset?
The simple answer: about a third for electricity; a third for industrial and a final third for commercial / residential heating. Someone forwarded me this fantastic LLNL flow diagram that is available for every state: https://flowcharts.llnl.gov/sites/flowcharts/files/styles/orig/public/2025-04/energy-2022-united-states-california.png?itok=XaKCBiDF
