This page is an attempt to estimate how much energy it takes to sustain a reasonable quality of life in a developed country.
Tables
Energy units: W (watts per capita, averaged over time. This is not the same as peak watts). (example)Suppose an electric car charger operates at 4800 watts, but the car is only charging for 2 hours per day on average. So the wattage averaged over time is 400 watts. Also note: If a family of 2 people owns 1 of these cars, then that's 200 watts per capita.
- Non-electric energy usage (fuel) is still measured in watts, this same way, for the sake of comparison.
- Page 49: OECD energy balance, 2018

Using data from 2020
OECD countries are: Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Note on reducing environmental impacts
- When it comes to climate change: Energy usage is the main culprit.
- Home electricity is just a small part of this. The best thing people can do is drive less and buy less.
- Note: This is targeted at the average person who lives in a developed country. If you are poor, you probably don't need to consume less.
- Home electricity is just a small part of this. The best thing people can do is drive less and buy less.
- When it comes to habitat loss: Land usage is the main culprit.
- The best thing people can do is eat more plant-based and waste less food.
Purpose
This page is currently incomplete. By finishing it, we can gain insights like:
- How much energy & emissions can be saved by various societal changes:
- Buying less stuff / ending planned obsolescence
- Driving less (walkability or using public transit)
- Wasting less food
- Eating more plant-based
- Making vehicles electric
- If solar was the world's main energy source:
- How many solar panels would there need to be near homes vs near industries?
- How much of the electricity needs to be available 24/7 (requiring energy storage)?
