<onlyinclude>A '''Trillion cubic feet''' (1 Tcf = 1,000,000,000,000 cubic feet) is a [[volume]] measurement used by the oil and gas industry. A Tcf of [[natural gas]] is approximately equal to a [[quad]] of energy.</onlyinclude><ref>Investopedia, ''Trillion Cubic Feet (Tcf)'' [Online], Available: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/trillion-cubic-feet.asp</ref> This number corresponds to a tremendous volume, out of the grasp of any human's imagination. To help visualize this amount follow this [http://waitbutwhy.com/2014/11/from-1-to-1000000.html link], which is a visual representation of the number 1 million - now times that by itself to get a trillion (a trillion is a million millions)! Although this volume seems unimaginably large, it is not a trivial number when energy is associated with it. In the year 2014, the USA ''alone'' used 26.79 Tcf of natural gas.<ref>eia, ''How much natural gas is consumed in the United States?''
