By the time we're done, if you look at the total energy in a gallon of ethanol, only 20 percent of that is new energy.
By making our homes more efficient and conserving on automotive fuel use, we could theoretically save 40 percent or more on our total energy consumption.
I'm not saying you shouldn't unplug it, but please realize, when you do so, what a tiny fraction it is of your total energy footprint.
"My guess is that solar energy will be 40 to 70 percent of the total energy consumption, 30 to 60 years from now, " he said.

According to a European target that Britain has signed up to, renewables will account for 15% of total energy consumption by 2020, up from 3% today.
ECONOMIST: Britain can have clean energy or cheap energy, but not both
Environmentalists like the idea because they believe it has the potential to reduce total energy consumption and thus help to curb carbon emissions and stop global warming.
China's industrial sector accounts for 70% of total energy consumption.
The total energy system cost of tackling climate change could be similar to doing nothing and may even be cheaper than remaining fossil fuel dependent (even if fossil fuel prices are not high).
For one thing, the U.S. has become increasingly efficient lately, pushing down its total energy use by 6.4 percent from 2007 to 2012, even as GDP grew 3 percent in the same period.
Of course the total energy used by a hard disk drive depends upon the actual usage and power saving modes, and caching of data can reduce the energy used by a HDD in a computer system.

Currently the data center portion of the total energy consumed in developed countries is in the neighborhood of 2-3% but the rapid pace of on-line equipment growth will drive this to 10% or higher in a few years time.
What this is all suggests is that the human spirit in its most daring moments has actually manifested physical attenuations of energy expenditure, reducing the tally of total energy consumption by exponential multiples undreamed of a few generations ago.

So despite the fact that our homes have become remarkably more energy efficient with a nearly one-third drop in total energy per square foot, residential energy demand didn't go down--it went up about a third over the two-decade period.
China will "endeavor" to cut emissions of carbon dioxide -- the most prevalent of the greenhouse gases that cause climate change -- by "a notable margin" in coming years, Hu said, adding that China also will "vigorously develop renewable energy and nuclear energy" with the goal of increasing the share of non-fossil fuels in total energy consumption to 15 percent by 2020.
