It's all energy consumption by a person, not just their residential electrical usage. So the gas you may use to heat your water, or the gasoline in your car, or the fraction of the street light outside your home. The energy that runs your local grocery store, hair salon, or Chick-fil-a. The energy that went into growing your food, making your clothing, and shipping your monthly Chewy.com order.
