It’s funny too that the people who argue “but transmission losses!” with electricity seem to
rarely mention the energy it takes to truck/transport/pump 369,000,000 gallons or 2,214,000,000 pounds of gasoline
PER DAY in the United States. Like it’s just magic that gasoline shows up at the retail pumps.
Comes to about 809,000,000,000 pounds per year. And that doesn’t even include diesel….
Easily past a TRILLION pounds of liquid fuel annually - a number the human brain can hardly fathom.
