Well, a quad is a quadrillion BTUs. So a quad, according to Google, is about 2.5 × 10^14 Calories (note the big "C"). That's a lot of Twinkies... in fact, it seems to be about 1.5 trillion Twinkies. At $0.99 for two... well, you get the idea. All of the USA is reported to consume about 100 quads of energy per year, and the federal government is reported to consume about 1 quad per year (or, about 1.5 trillion Twinkies per year, depending on your preferred unit of measure). But I'm looking for a sum of state and local government consumption, not federal consumption. |
