To understand energy security, you must appreciate the enormity of our energy ‘flow’—the amount we use every day or every year…
Coal: 18 pounds per day per person;
Oil: 16 pounds per day per person;
Natural gas: 10 pounds per day per person…
Generating this much power takes about 300 tons of fossil fuel every second.

“This is a magnet. It has a north pole and a south pole. It creates a magnetic field. Other magnets want to line up with it…Magnetic fields cause positive charges to circle counter-clockwise. Negative charges circle clockwise…Negative charges moving together create an electric current. This current creates a new magnetic field! Now you know ELECTROMAGNETISM!”
