SOURCES: Billion short tons of coal consumed per country per year.; Coal production figures for year 2002; 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.; The percentage share of electricity generated from each energy source. These are fossil fuel, hydro, nuclear, and other (solar, geothermal, and wind).; 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.; Annual utilization of geothermal power from direct-use sources in GWh/yr as of 2000.; Number of terrawatt-hours of nuclear energy consumed per country per year.; Number of terrawatt-hours of nuclear energy consumed per country per year. Figures are provided for the year 2002.; ; MWe = Megawatt net (electrical as distinct from thermal); 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.; Total primary energy supply TOE (tonnes of oil equivalent) per person (Year 2000).; PowerStream

ALTERNATIVE NAMES: United Kingdom, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, britain, great britain, united kingdom of great britain and northern irela, united king., The United Kingdom
