And if our goal is to reduce carbon footprint or increase energy efficiency, we must view it as a crucial optimization. Transportation alone requires almost as much energy ( 27 quadrillion BTU or “quads,” as of 2021 in the United States ) as the entire electric grid can supply (37 quads). I couldn’t agree more.
