This site has put energy units into Quads to match up with the approach in Energy Revolution, (Geller).
- – A Quad is 1015 BTU
- – 1 Million Barrels/Day for a Year Of Oil Is 2.12 Quads
- – A barrel is 42 gallons
- – 1 TW.h = 3.6*1015 Joules

See http://www.neb-one.gc.ca/stats/moreconversions_e.pdf for all kinds of conversions and energy contents. For two key points of reference:
– The US. used 97.3 Quads of oil in 2001 (approximately 70 percent of it came from outside the US). (Approx. 3.3 TW)
– It is anticipated that the US. will use approximately 139 Quads in 2025 (this is the Energy Information Administration (DOE) “reference” estimate)
