Realistic energy use, by country

World enery consumption through the years. Hover over a country to see its consumption in quadrillion BTUs.

A quadrillion BTU equals 45 million tons of coal, or 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, or 170 million barrels of crude oil.

Compared with Bromagosa's original project, a country's energy consumption is represented by a red circle's area, not its cross section - making for a far more realic comparison between states and regions.
