Does the OPs math check out?

> 282,000,000 vehicles * 14,000 miles/(year vehicle) * 241.4 Wh/mile * 0.85 lbs C02/kWh = 810.1 billion lbs of C02/year

Aren’t Wh and kWh being conflated in this calculation?

I will change it all to be Wh or kWh. It is unnecessarily confusing. But I do believe the math does work. Thanks for taking a look! Would love to have confirmation from someone else that I didn't do something stupid.
