How Much Energy Does Your Life Consume? | SLICE EARTH

- Fossil fuels have given the citizens of industrialised civilization a life that previously could only have been imagined by kings. We have had so much cheap energy to burn that we have fallen into routines of almost unbelievable waste. Our cars, homes, and factories typically waste more than half the energy they consume, even as our fuel reserves dry up and our atmosphere turns against us.
In theory, the solutions are simple: reforming our transport system, localising our supply lines and re-engineering our built environment. All over the world communities are embracing this transition - but it will take a truly global effort for that to solve our crisis.

Thank you so much for supporting us!
people who bake small things don't understand how much energy is wasted in the process.
An HVAC installer told me he calculates his AC installations for 160 BTUs/hr. for every human in the building.
Cars, a big energy consumer enable single family houses with external walls which waste lots of energy. If the price of energy included the cost of damage of emissions, North Americans would use less.
The other side of the energy used coin is the heat generated from burning that energy: polymath Eliot Jacobson calculates that we are generating/trapping (solar) the heat equivalent of 13 Hiroshima yield nuclear bomb blasts--63 trillion BTUs per blast.
how much does a human body consume?
About the same as a100 Watt lightbulb.
Conflating some issues as directly related to energy usage is a false equivalency...shameful to do so.
