Saw this great interactive chart which breaks down
energy from source to use in the US from all available data compiled by a guy named Saul Griffith at
https://otherlab.com/
He has used this data at Other Lab to identify opportunities for products that will have the most direct impact on reducing energy consumption.
Felt this was worthy for all those exploring energy and attempting to conserve.

The links to these YouTube videos is a great way to be introduced to the chart and the person who produced it.

When you have time, please let me know any thoughts you have.
