Energy prices have an impact on the price of almost everything we buy, including groceries, clothing, electronics, and gasoline for our vehicles.

In actuality, a world without of energy would be one devoid of the necessities for our survival!
We may compare these staggering figures to the usage of fossil fuels in the largest economy in the world to get a sense of scale. Every year, the US uses 729.5 million short tons of coal (14.2 quadrillion Btu), 27.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas (28.4 quadrillion Btu), and 7.2 billion barrels of petroleum (35.9 quadrillion Btu).
