US Energy System
July 27, 2010
The above interactive illustration of US energy system has been created by Lawrence Livermore National Lab in 2009. Click on the image to see the interactive graphics in action. It’s interesting to see that more than 50% of energy supplied goes to waste, much of which is limited by the thermodynamics of energy conversion processes, but that doesn’t imply that there is no scope in improving the efficiency. Measurements are in Btu units. 1 Quad = 1 million billion.
( I did not have much time today to write a full post and that explains such a short post. More detailed posts in coming days)
