Anybody know what percentage of energy use in the USA is for
passenger vehicles? (cars, SUV's, etc.)
All vehicular transportation consumes about 20% of our total energy
needs. Not certain how this breaks down between private and
commercial.
The big energy consumer in the U.S. is our homes. Nearly 50% of total
energy use, and the majority of this power comes from coal.
