- "4.4% of all the energy in the US now goes toward data centers"

- "by 2028 [...] AI alone could consume as much electricity annually as 22% of all US households."

What would the 22% be if compared against all US energy instead of just all US household?

US households constitute 21% of all energy use [1], so 22% of this is 0.21 * 0.22, which is 4%.
