How much energy do we consume?

The first step to tackling climate change is to understand how much energy we consume. Since your mind is not capable of understanding that Americans consumed 100,165,395,000,000,000 BTU (a/k/a 100,165 Trillion BTU or 100 Quadrillion BTU) of energy in 2019, I've created this whiteboard animation to put that number into terms your brain is capable of comprehending.

The quote in the video, "energy does not end poverty, but you cannot end poverty without energy" is attributed to Dr. Scott Tinker. Please check out his amazing work at www.switchon.org
