how many energy units of fossil fuel are consumed to produce fossil fuel?

From the DOE report I linked in post #17

Actually total energy, not just fossil energy, although the report compares both. Refineries use a lot of electricity and in my opinion, Total Energy should be the comparison.

OK, so I read your response to my post and the graph made sense (after I found the legend). Then I read the exchange between you and riored and some of the reference material he provided. Now, I’m a fairly smart guy but I quickly realize that I can’t get a handle on this thing unless I do a LOT of reading. Frankly, I don’t want to do that. I just want a simple answer to a simple question. Both of you guys seem well read on the subject so I’m hoping that your exchanges create an agreement that I can buy and bypass the need to become a self-educated expert on the matter.

Keeping in mind that it won’t change my mind about it being stupid to use food for fuel, it would be nice to have a logical, scientific answer.

Thanks.
