"Fuel-Thickness-Average" is How-Thick All-Fossil-Fuel-Present would be if of even thickness over all the land it is now under. "Central-Entries" in the chart above are Estimated-Volumes of Net-Usable-Fossil-Fuel in Astronomically-Tiny Space-Ship-Earth; given in Cubic-Kilometers. Entries across the top and bottom lines are fractions of the land area including continental shelves with net-usable-fuel under them. 1 inch = 2.54 centimeter 1 foot = 30.48 centimeters 1 yard = 91.44 centimeters 100 cm = 1 m = 0.001 km 1 mile = 1.609 kilometers 1 square mile = 2.59 sq km. 1 cubic mile = 4.17 cubic km 1,000 m = 1.000 km .62 mile = 1.0 kilometers 0.386 sq mi = 1.00 sq km 24 cubic mi. = 1 cubic km The USA, as the only nation in the world that does not use the Metric System of Measurements as its standaard set of measurements, is crippling the ability of its citizens to think and compute clearly about the energy crisis. The confusion of units of measurement is debilitating! Thus, the above uses the meter which is the standard international unit of length, used in all nations of the world as the standard unit of distance. Document: "FUELTANK" by Paul A. Smith
