Barrels Per Day Equivalent (BPD-Equivalent)
From Conservapedia
A unit of measure that tells how much oil would have to be burned to produce the same amount of energy. A barrel describes large drum with a volume of 158,987,294,928 ml.[1] Liberals often want to pass federal legistrations to lower the BPD-equivalent used in states, an example of an encroaching big government.[2][3]
An example of usage: California's hydroelectric generation in 1983 was 58,000 barrels per day equivalent.[4]
