That's all energy types, including e.g. oil and gas burnt directly. I'm talking about electricity: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_electricity_consumption
@dymaxion ok, but how does this matter? If you want to focus on the USA, let's look at the LLNL flowchart: we have 67.3 quads of energy (~ 19,720TWh ) being wasted. Nearly 2/3 of our electricity is wasted. We have room to handle this.
