The numbers of dollars being thrown about in the TARP and stimulus debates (billions and trillions) must have clouded my mind. Thanks for the correction, David.

One small comment: a "Quad" is one quadrillion Btu's - 1000 times larger than a trillion Btu's. That doesn't really change your fine analysis, but it does help us understand the "really big" units of energy flowing through the world economy. Another very large unit of energy use is a "Terrawatt," (TW) or one trillion watts. Humans presently use at least 13 TW, of which the United States uses about 3 TW. Excellent post, Bill.

Though the post was about wind, we can use the same reasoning to promote integrated solar and energy efficiency. Seeing the energy losses in transmission & distribution makes an excellent case for on-site production & reduction in use of energy. Great example of whole systems thinking. Thanks.
