In my many years of observing the changing landscape of energy, I was often confused by what was being said about energy and what was fact. While I studied science in the metric system, the world of American energy was in "United States Customary Units". e.g. BTU's, U.S. Gallons, PSI, Horsepower, CCF (100 Cubic Feet), MCF, etc. In the years before the internet, I needed a way of referrencing and converting energy by knowing the specifications of each energy source. In the link below you will find this set of data that I've been accumulating over the years. I hope you find the spreadsheet useful.
This listing although, not complete, does have the most common units.
