COMMENTARY     

M.S. Habeebur Rahman
18th February 2005 		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?
andrew
20th March 2005 		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!
Edria Murray
Staff editor
26th March 2005 		At first glance, the United States appears to be using excessive quantities of electricity. This is misleading as the U.S. has a large population (more people to use the electricity). When electricity use is viewed per capita, the United States falls to number 9, a lower per capita rate than Canada and countries in Scandanavia and the Middle East.

High levels of electricity consumption can be maintained long term if the electricity is generated from renewable sources such as hydroelectric, wind, solar and tidal sources. Geothermal energy is also renewable if use is limited and Nuclear power is the most efficient electricity generation method. Use of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas are a cause for concern both for the environmental effects and their non-renewability.

26th April 2005 		Koray Ilter, if you look at the encyclopedia entry for Turkey, you will see that Turkey is considered as a bridge between Europe and Asia, with about three percent of its territory located in southeastern Europe. The division between Europe and Asia runs from the Black Sea to the north down along the Bosporus strait through the Sea of Marmara and the Dardanelles strait to the Aegean Sea and the larger Mediterranean Sea to the south. However, it is correct to say that Turkey is European-focused in a political sense. Turkey has been a member of NATO since 1952 and now seeks admission to the European Union, with the official opening talks having been held on December 17, 2004.
Larry Stark
29th September 2005 		I can't find statistics on electrical power useage for the United States. All the other major countries are there. Surely that information is on your database.
