Daily energy consumption data based on statistics in the Natural Resources Defense Council's report Looking for Oil in All the Wrong Places (Oil = 17.3 million barrels and Natural Gas = 9.8 million barrels equivalent). That report proves efficiency to be the largest and cheapest means to meet the energy needs of the United States.
