7,446 Million Barrels of Oil Used Annually.
22 Trillion Cubic Feet of Natural Gas Used Annually.
1,072 Million Short Tons of Coal Used Annually.
3,848 Billion Kilowatt Hours of Electricity Used Annually.
Ton Coal = 21,100,000 BTU x 1072 = 22,619,200,000,000,000 BTU of Coal Annually
Barrel Crude = 5,800,000 BTU x 7,446,000,000 = 43,816,800,000,000,000 BTU of Crude Annually
Cubic Foot = 1,021 BTU x 22 trillion = 22,462,000,000,000,000 BTU of Gas Annually
Kilowatt Hour = 3,413 BTU x 3848 = 13,133,224,000,000,000 BTU of Electricity Annually
Total
102,031,224,000,000,000 BTU Used Annually.
102,031,224,000,000 Thousand BTU (MBTU) Annually Used.
3 Trillion Dollars / Amount of MBTU = 2.94 Cents per BTU of energy.
21,100 MBTU x $0.0294 = $620.34 per Ton of Coal.
5,800 MBTU x $0.0294 = $170.52 per Barrel of Oil.
1.021 MBTU x $0.0294 = $0.03 per Cubic Foot of Gas.
3.413 MBTU x $0.0294 = $0.10 per KWH.
When I think about this, I think that it is both creative and political suicide.
What do you guys think of the economics of this?
Edit: Oh, and here are my sources:

Math is fixed now!
