Understanding the Flow and Use of Global Energy

- Confused by the many ways energy is described?

- Why can’t energy be explained in simple terms?

- The Global Energy Handbook does this for you.

Have you ever wondered why energy use continues to rise; here are some examples:

What if everyone in the world drove a fuel-efficient automobile?

What if every household in the world switched to fluorescent bulbs?

(You will be surprised by what the answers tell us about the difficulty of saving energy at the global level)

It’s All About BTU
All energy information, whether for petroleum, gasoline, household electricity, coal, natural gas or solar and wind power, can be expressed in a common set of units. The BTU (or QBTU*) is used as the common unit to explain all global energy production and use.
*Quadrillion BTU

Your Views on Global Energy Will be Changed

By understanding global energy in this consistent manner, you will attain a completely new view on our attempts at reducing consumption. With this new understanding you will begin to ask critical questions on energy issues that are often missed by those reporting in the media.


Helping, But not Solving the Problem

Yes, we are winning a few battles, but we are losing the war on energy reduction.
This website will help you understand why.
