Energy Blessing In Disguise A Surge Of Apocalyptic Calories
Edward Olsen of the Field Museum notes Americans used about 18 quadrillion energy calories last year mainly from fossil fuels, enough to boil nine trillion gallons of water. The U S consumes nearly 30 percent of world energy with six percent of population, while global needs rise five percent yearly. Olsen says energy translates to work, modern living, and export benefits, but points to inefficiencies and the potential for change as alternative sources grow and habits adapt. The energy crisis is a warning, not an inevitability, urging thoughtful solutions.
