You "suspect", but your suspicion comes with a unit of energy, which simply does not make sense in the context. The rest of us are talking about effect.

You asked about energy usage; but I have no idea as to how that bakery's natural gas usage affects the people surrounding it.

The smell of freshly baked fig newtons might offset the possible increased cost of gas-per-cubic-foot.

I guess we can go the long way round. How often does the bakery use 12 million therms of natural gas?

ok, but like, my stove uses some therms of natural gas, but its not at all comparable in terms of scale to a data center.

what makes this bakery comparable in terms of energy usage and pollution?
