Re: conversion factors



Regarding Ludwik's conversion factors:

... Below
is a table of conversion factors given by
H. Geller in his 2003 "Energy Revolution:
Politics for a Sustainable Future" book.
...
1 TOE (ton of oil equivalent) = 4.19*10^9 J
=4.19 GJ

1 BBL (barrel of oil) = 6.1*10^9 J = 6.1 GJ
...

Ludwik, do you have a typo somewhere here or does Geller
really claim that a barrel of oil weighs about 3/2 ton?
