Estimates are that energy usage typically drops 5-10% on Thanksgiving Day, compared to the November average, all thanks to that delicious turkey. And the estimated savings of that energy could amount to more than $2 billion in energy bills.

“he average Thanksgiving turkey size in 2019 is 30 pounds!”
No way. Nowhere close. I’ve never seen a 30 lb turkey in a grocery store.

At 20 minutes a pound plus twenty, better put that bird in at 2 am if it’s going to lunch.

A couple weeks back I increased my already bloated carbon footprint by cutting a king three trash can turkeys simultaneously and frying three more. Oh the humanity.

How Much Energy Do Americans Use On Thanksgiving What a ridiculous question. Someone needs to slap some sense into this person. Reminds be of that SNL skit from a couple of decades ago, What if Eleanor Roosevelt could fly?

I’ll be enjoying the waste heat (and aroma) from my countertop rotisserie, and burning up as many watts as possible playing “Alices Restaurant” at high volume, multiple times.

You could really go places with this information.

Why aren’t the concern-niks worried about Bitcoin mining farms? They use massive amounts of energy per Bitcoin.

The average Thanksgiving turkey size in 2019 is 30 pounds! Thats one big bird, and more than double from the 13 pound average sold in the 1930s. I always look for the smallest turkey. This year, we have decided to go out instead of spending the entire day cooking.

This Thanksgiving, Americans will suck up 350 gigawatts of electricityequivalent to the entire worlds nuclear power capacity in 2012making turkeys.
Wow. Thats only 289.2562 times more power than needed to run the flux capacitor for a time-travel jump.
And of course, its roasting (or perhaps frying) turkeys, since the bird is already made thanks to reproduction.
