Ah, there's the REAL question!

Lots of information about power usage, sustainable levels thereof,
and plans to improve our bottom line.

Pretty interesting stuff- especially when you start thinking about
your own energy usage.  For example, if we WERE to achieve a
2kW society, using one liter of gasoline would consume 10 of
your 48 alloted kW-h for that day.  And that is only for the energy
content of the gas, not including distribution and inefficiencies.

Not many people in the US burn less than 1L of gasoline a day...
