The first step in our mission to rid the America of Fossil Fuels is to tack down an over all number of total energy consumed by the U.S. (the number we agreed on is 98 QBtu's). We must then see what contributions our respective fields [transportation and building efficiency, tidal, nuclear, wind, and solar] can make to bridging the energy deficit (as a % of the 98 QBtu's) that would inevitably be caused by a complete abandonment of fossil fuels as a source of energy.
This chart is our first attempt to arrive at a workable set of figures that we could use to account for renewable energy.
Note: [Tidal, wind, solar, and nuclear are concerned with the production of energy while building and transportation efficiency deal with the reduction of over all energy use.]
