New Breakthrough in Energy Storage – MIT Engineers Create Supercapacitor out of Ancient Materials::Constructed from cement, carbon black, and water, the device holds the potential to offer affordable and scalable energy storage for renewable energy sources. Two of humanity’s most ubiquitous historical materials, cement and carbon black (which resembles very fine charcoal), may form the basis for
God, i wish my house used 10kwh of power per day. During winter that is more like 20 and during summer it can go as high as 30. We are doing projects to improve that, vut its a slow process with financial constraints.

I’m surprised that per capita, the absolute worst is Qatar with 3x the consumption of the US. The average US citizen however consumes ~2x as much as a German, Japanese, Iranian, French or Irish citizen.

The data kinda seems off though. How is an Icelandic citizen using 3x as much as a US citizen? Did they completely get rid of fossil fuels or something?
Qatar and Iceland are both rich nations in an inhospitable climate.
Makes sense they’d be near the top in heating/cooling.
Iceland has so much renewables with water and geothermal, they can use it however they want.
Yeah, i feel like the fridge uses that much by itself. Seriously though i have no idea where it all goes.
Yeah, i just looked and the minimum i have used all year is 661kwh which is ~22 per day. The house is 1000 sqft.
