One thing i don't like about this analysis is when final energy is expressed in TWh, which is a unit normally reserved for electricity. That creates confusion.

- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoWatt-Hours is an extremely common metric to use for total energy when talking about societal-wide energy consumption.
- fghorow 3y agoMacKay's entire analysis is posed using KWh (and multiples) as a standard unit for energy. Why? From memory he stated it was because everything would otherwise need to be converted to Joules (or multiples) and KWh were at least a common enough energy unit that people "think" in them for resource estimates.
