An Introduction to Sustainable Energy Systems: Energy Statistics In this class I repeatedly cite energy facts and energy statistics By "energy fact" I mean scientific data E.G., the heat energy liberated per gram of carbon burned, which should change only if refined data are generated By "energy statistics" I mean things like annual U.S. energy consumption Which is constantly changing, and will have to be updated in these notes every year This "note set" is my attempt to manage such updates by recording in one place: - Statistics I currently use, their values, and their sources, - The lecture(s) in which they are cited
