Coal > Production	1,792,000 ton		[27th of 65]
View time series
Coal consumption	13,410,000		[22nd of 41]
DEFINITION: Billion short tons of coal consumed per country per year.

Commercial energy use	1,567		[57th of 119]
DEFINITION: Commercial energy use (kg of oil equivalent per capita). Commercial energy use refers to apparent consumption, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport.

Electric generation ability	38,900,000 killowatts		[6th of 32]
Electric power consumption > kWh	187,617,000,000 kWh		[16th of 132]
DEFINITION: Electric power consumption measures the production of power plants and combined heat and power plants less transmission, distribution, and transformation losses and own use by heat and power plants.		View time series

Gasoline prices	1		[74th of 141]
DEFINITION: Ratio of premium gasoline price to world average Units: Ratio of Gasoline Price to World Average Units: Pump price for super gasoline (US$ per liter): Fuel prices refer to the pump prices of the most widely sold grade of gasoline. Prices have been converted from the local currency to U.S. dollars, and the ratio of the gas price to the world average in the same time period was used in order to normalize the data. For more information, see World Development Indicators, Table 3.12.

Nuclear waste generated	-0.33		[28th of 45]
DEFINITION: Nuclear waste generated Units: Standardized Scale (z-score) Units: Two variables were initially available for Radioactive Waste: Accumulated Quantity (cubic meters) as generated and Accumulated Quantity (cubic meters) after treatment. We calculated the z-scores for the two variables, in order to make them comparable, and took whichever variable was available for each country. For the three countries (Australia, Canada and Czech Republic) which had both variables, we took the higher.

Oil exports > Net	1,680,000 barrels per day		[6th of 32]
SOURCE: International Atomic Energy Agency, Waste Management Database, 1997 via ciesin.org
Oil reserves	33,310,000,000 barrels		[11th of 97]
DEFINITION: According to Web definitions the term refers to the total amount of petroleum (oil) discovered in any given oil field or nation. Thus it can be said that Kuwait has xxxx millions of barrels (mb) of oil in the ground. However, the exact amount can never be known, simply because of the difficulty in sensing or "seeing" beneath the surface of the Earth. The term Proven Reserve or PR refers to an amount of oil that is generally accepted by geologists to be the actual amount of petroleum in the ground.
