Peak Oil Demand Again, by the Numbers

I couldn't resist analyzing the numbers in the peak oil demand projection chart in the previous post.

The peaks are at about 200 qBTU (quadrillion BTU). Silly, but that's the unit they use. That's about 2e20 joules. 200 exajoules. Used over a year, that comes to an average of 7 terawatts (TW). 

The last number I've seen for world energy consumption is about 20 TW. So about 35% of world energy consumption comes from driving ICE* cars (and sure, a little from heating). I don't know why but that's not hard to believe.
