Putting Energy into Perspective

“A gallon of gasoline is easy to visualize, but what, pray tell, is a therm of natural gas or kilowatt-hour of electricity? Beats me, right?”
 
A quote taken from an article in Home Power Magazine.
 
Unfortunately, until we understand how much work such terms represent, we can’t hope to understand whether energy is a rip-off or bargain, or appreciate how much energy it takes to power our lives.
