> dryer use accounts for about 6 percent of U.S. residential electricity use

That's a huge amount! I didn't realize it was so much!

I thought for SURE that was going to be one of those made up stats from stupid magazine... nope... seems like that's actually true!? That's WAY higher than I would've ever guessed.

You want a crazy stat? US uses more energy just for its AC usage, than the entire continent of Africa uses for literally everything combined together.

It's probably more meaningful to compare energy usage per-capita. IMO it's hard to understand what it means when describing energy uses by land masses.

2020 US population 330 million

2020 Africa population 1.3 billion
