How is the United States' consumption of fossil fuels affecting the supply and demand of these products?
4x10^10 gallons I would ignore this nonsense answer if it wasn't ranked so highly by Google. While I have no intention of providing an Answer that is broken down by State, I would like to at least debunk the "4x10^23 gallons" I found US Energy Information Agency annual consumption data at this site: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/pet/pet_cons_psup_dc_nus_mbbl_a.htm The EIA lists 2007 US Consumption of all forms of Distillate Fuel Oil ("Diesel") as 1,531,508,000 Barrels, or 64,323,336,000 US Gallons = 6.4x10^10 US Gallons
Oil fuels - the number one export for the US in 2011, by value, was gasoline and diesel fuel.
As of 2019, the US consumed about 142.71 billion gallons of gasoline, 26.07 billion gallons of diesel, and 4.01 billion gallons of kerosene. These numbers may vary slightly each year based on demand and factors such as economic conditions and government policies.
The US by far consumes the most. Common fossil fuels are natural gas, oil and coal. I've included a link on oil consumption showing the major consumers. China is number 2 in oil consumption but its per capita consumption is much less.
Watts = joules / secondYou need to divide the total annual energy consumption by the number of seconds in a year (which is about 31.5 million).
Texas is the state in the US that uses the most fossil fuels, largely due to its large population, sizeable industrial sector, and extensive oil and gas resources. Texas is a leading producer of coal, natural gas, and oil, which contributes to its high consumption of fossil fuels.
The average power requirement for the US can be calculated by dividing the total annual energy consumption by the number of seconds in a year. The total number of seconds in a year is approximately 31,557,600. Therefore, the average power requirement for the US would be 0.67 watts (21020 joules / 31,557,600 seconds).
IT CAN BE CALCULATED THEORETICALLY & PRACTICALLY:- 1. theoretically--- For this you must know the SFC(specific fuel consumption) of the engine at the given load. for example(let us consider a diesel generator of 20 kw having SFC as 232 gm/kw-hr at 75% load) (20x0.75)x232 therefore Fuel consumption in ltrs/hr= =4.094ltr/hr 0.85x1000 here 0.75 is for 75% load 0.85 is density of diesel 1000 is factor to convert milli-litre into litres
We use propane and butane as petroleum fuels. Octane is used as petrol. Candle wax, diesel and tar are also mainly composed of hydrocarbons.

yes they are good for the planet as they provide a renewable energy, with gives off no pollution, because of the natural source which is wind. They allow us to reduce our consumption of fossil fuels for energy, instead providing us with clean energy
