The goal is to reduce energy intensity by 20% by the end of the decade.
Still, the goal of achieving a 20% reduction in energy intensity by 2010 seems a long way off.
Using energy intensity as a measure, the U.S. is using slightly more than 9, 000 BTUs per dollar of GDP.
Of course, the use of energy intensity as a measure is not perfect and the results can be misleading.
By the EIA's data, the country with the lowest energy intensity is Chad.
After successive years of improvement, the first quarter of this year saw a big reversal, with energy intensity increasing by 3.2%.
The change suggested that energy intensity had improved by 15.6% from 2006.

He described how, in China's five-year economic plan from 2006-2010, the country has set itself targets of energy intensity the energy required to produce a unit of GDP.
United Technologies cut its energy intensity 56% in a decade.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the energy intensity of China in 2005, the most recent year for which data are available, was 35, 766 British thermal units per U.S. dollar.
But on August 3rd new data showed that in the first half of the year, energy intensity nudged up by a mere 0.09% compared with the same period a year ago.
The island nation uses 4, 500 BTUs per U.S. dollar of gross domestic product, a measure known as "energy intensity, " the world standard for measuring how efficient an economy is at using energy.
But while the country's energy intensity--the amount of energy required to produce a unit of economic growth--is improving, it is not improving enough to offset the pace of growth of the economy, the population and living standards.
It means looking at radically new industrial processes which simply replace previous kinds of industrial manufacturing with sophisticated bionumetics and nanotech approaches, to cutting down the material intensity and energy intensity of production, this is the kind of thing you need to do to stay competitive in the modern world.
As part of its most recent five-year plan, Beijing set an ambitious goal to reduce its energy "intensity"--a common measure of a country's energy efficiency--by 20% from the 2005 level by 2010.
"We just didn't play two halves, didn't have any passion or energy or intensity the first half, " Rice said.
In July new energy-intensity numbers were produced for the past four years that put China closer to its target.
China's energy-intensity data are as wobbly as other indicators.

Pressed and did some things to pick up the level of intensity and energy, but, again, it still wasn't enough because, when it got close, when it got to two possessions.
The carbon dioxide intensity of U.S. energy supply (CO2 per unit of energy) in 2009 also dropped as a result of lower natural gas prices relative to coal.
There was also a slight increase in the CO2 intensity of U.S. energy supply (CO2 per unit of energy) in 2010, which is in contrast to a drop of 2.4% in 2009.
