  • Annual energy use by USA - 94 exajoules
  • US energy consumption by sector - 40% electricity, 30% transportation - [2]
  • Total USA energy use - 25 PWhr - [3] - (petawatt hours (See Metric Prefixes))
  • Equivalent to 90 exajoules, consistent with Renewable Energy "Blue Bible" above.
  • 250GW of PV is installable on existing rooftops - Cosservative estimate (50% of residential rooftops) - [4]
