The above Visual was a really great way to show the different energy sources in the United States and their uses. It was interesting to learn the energy sources in a further depth, the diagram was interactive and very useful. The most interesting fact I found was that, “Coal dominates the region’s energy flow, representing more than half its total energy supply, the greatest contributor to electric power production.” I was unaware and thought oil was a greater contributor in the United States.

The united states estimated Energy usage was about 1920 trillion Btu which is a extremely large amount but the fact that California is 7137 trillion Btu alone is astronomical. Oil is a much larger source in California then coal, which is interesting.

Overall, the site was very interesting and informative. It surprised me with many facts I was unaware of.
