At this point I think you're trolling? All those metrics measure energy usage AFTER the energy has been produced. It's like measuring power output at the flywheel of an ICE (after it's been produced) and proudly proclaiming some fantastical efficiency figure.

Let's see the grams of coal/nat. gas/oil/mile calculation and see how that stack up. Most of the US doesn't have the clean grid of the east coast.
