I subsribe to the New York State Conservation magazine! They depicted a world map in black depecting the energy consumuntion of world NIGHTLY electric lighting!! I was stunned to realize how much power was used by so few countries! I would appreciate any leads to secure this map as I want to frame same along with your statics!
My email address is c80ls@hotmail.com or c80ls@yahoo.com
Thanks for any help. |

Hereafter world need not worry about electric power.Recently I have found a new method for generation of electricity.I have applied for indian patent. By spening only 20 crores for a project we can produce minimum 5000 MW. By constructing thousands of project, within five years the world will have surplus power.

I continually see the comment appearing that nuclear power is the most 'efficient' form of power. This is simply not true, as the maximum conversion efficiencz of a nuclear plant (and other thermal plants such as coal) are achieving maximum efficiencies of 30-40%. Economically speaking, the costs of construction and rather short operational lifespan of a nuclear plant makes it completely unefficient. That is, the investment and operating costs are never fully recovered by the sale of the electrical energy which it produces. This has more to do with the 'cheap' energy production costs of modern coal and natural gas plants. The most conversion efficient plants are hydropower, which can achieve efficiencies of upwards of 85%. Ecological considerations and siting are of course issues. |

How interesting !
This "statistics" just ignores the fact that U.S. is the #1 consumer of electricity all over the world. U.S. consumes 3 656.49 Billion Kilowatthours = 3.65649 Exawatthours of electricity in 2003, which number is almost 3 times the amount of the seemingly #1 China in 2005 (Source: http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/international/iealf/table62.xls) |

Well andrew, it seems that someone has taken offence to your statement, as the US is now invisible on this list, as it is on many other lists...it was only a few months ago i discovered this site, and was amazed at it's depth and breadth. I am beginning now to doubt its credibility, which is a huge shame. |

US use is 3,660,000,000,000 KWH and is by far in #1 |

Why do I not seem to be able to find the US consumption of oil, gas,electricity and other energy sources? |

Global warming... What is it that that show said we had to get out carbon admissions to about 3 tonne a year per person http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/env_co2_emi I think it is quite obvious a lot of countries are in the wrong and need to change that very fast (within the next 20 years better if it was 10 though) considering the 'point of no return' as it is called is supposed to be within the next 20 years ~ ~ and then the whole world is in the poo to say. |

I feel that not only the US has to conserve electricity but the rest of the world too. With everyone playing their role in conserving the electricity, I am sure that natural resources need not to be exploited. I agree that the fuels burnt to generate electricity do cause global warming as it emits greenhouse gases. The biggest problem is that people do not conserve energy till there is a shortage and then it's already too late. |

The only way the United States could possibly go on consuming these amounts of energy would be if it took over all of the oil producing countries and dominated the energy market. Oh, that's exactly what's happening! |

all we need in this country is to lower our energy consumption or use more nuclear energy, as it is the most efficient and economical source of energy. |

Energy consumption is directly related to production of greenhouse gases, which leads to global warming. Knowing the effects of global warming, why did the US not accept the Kyoto protocol? |
