People have no idea how much electricity it would take to replace the energy in fossil fuels. Every 100K gallons per month is the energy equivalent of 4.65 MW/hr of power. That's gasoline, diesel or Jet A had more BTUs/gallon.

100,000 gallons per month
= 138 gallons per hour
* 115000 btu/gallon
= 15700000 btu / hr
/ 3.41 btu /watt
= 4653958 watts
= 4.65 MW/hr of electric power equivalent

4.65 MW can power 3022 houses (650 houses per MW)

Here’s LAX;

48.6 million barrels per year
133,150 barrels/day
5,548 barrels per hour
233,013 gallons per hour

128,100 BTUs per gallon Jet A
29,849,054,794 LAX BTUs per hour
8747894427 watt/hr equivalent
8,747 MW/hr equivalent

Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant generates 2,256 MW of power.

It would take the equivalent of almost four Diablo Canyon nuclear power plants to charge electric airplanes equal those currently flying out of LAX.
