BP - We're bring oil to America's shores. I died laughing because BP's billion dollar image change to their new sunflower logo is forever going to be associated with the worst environmental disaster to strike America.

Now please do some others. How many BTUs would come from a producing deep well annually? How would that compare home energy requirements and what could be saved from energy retrofits. Here's another. There are 70 billion square feet of commercial space in the US that according to USGBC [Environmental Information Administration (2008). EIA Annual Energy Outlook] consume 40% of primary energy in the US. Energy retrofits can reduce easily by 30%. How many deep wells does that equal? Seems like we are drilling in the wrong place. We must publicize these facts. Finally a great comparison. Now please do some others.
