British homeowners saw an 80% increase in their energy bills. While the prices of fuel and food have come down since the war started, they remain elevated. US gasoline at $3.56 a gallon is the highest since August 2015. Crude oil tumbled from its one-year high of $93.68 on Sept. 27,...
each gallon of gasoline is equivalent to 33.7 kWh of electricity. There is also growing concern about the high amounts of energy that is needed to manufacture EV or Electric Vehicles
High-Mileage Drivers:“Gasoline Superusers,” or the top 10% of gasoline consumers, could save nearly $5,000 annually on fuel and maintenance by switching to an EV. Cumulative Savings Over Time: Studies show that, in most states, EVs become cheaper than gas cars over a five-year period,...

There are two kinds of energy, potential and kinetic. Potential energy is the energy waiting to be converted into power. Gasoline in a fuel tank is an example. Kinetic energy is the energy a body possesses because it is in motion. The more the object weighs and the faster it is moving,...
Gasoline and diesel have an energy density of approximately 12 kW-h per kg (10 kw-h per liter), while lithium batteries used in electric vehicles (including modern Tesla batteries) are around 0.25 kw-h per kg. That means that storing the energy contained in any fuel tank, let ...
Rather than “go every which way” in our search for and use of energy, seeking out and consuming “joules’ in whatever form we may find them, government policy needs to focus energy users on sustainable options, functioning as a “funnel”. One might think of there being two forces in...

We can calculate the amount of energy (in joules) that is released when combusting something by seeing the effects of this combustion on the temperature of a mass of water using the following formula: q=mcΔTAnswer and Explanation:
