Energy consumption
Transcript:
I started measuring everything around my house, around my office. I found some surprising things. First, a plug of phone charger, and it didn’t even register on this power meter. It uses one hundredth of light bulb of power, so I don’t think the phone charger is gonna be our number one energy consumption. Just taking one hot bath everyday, uses same energy, same power as five light bulbs on all the time nonstop. And I had been steadily using 40 light bulb’s worth of gas making hot air and hot water, that surprises me. Transport is one of the biggest forms of energy consumption, and it uses about a third of our energy, if you drive an average car for 50 kilometers a day, that causes about to adding 40 light bulbs overtime. Today, the average British person is using 125 light bulbs of power that’s 125 light bulbs on all the time, nonstop, that’s huge.
