Document Summary

We built more solar panels and nuclear energy but the percentage is not. Oil : best majority is middle east. Oil consumption last 40 years: has been doubled. Huge energy density : oil and gas striking, relatively same. All of those major regions possess some sort of fossil fuels to use. Scientists are looking for hydrogen because it produces the best amount of hydrogen but it requires a lot of energy to make it. Geographic scale: most notable, ramped up energy consumption in asia (especially during that 40 years due to increase the economics, escalated everywhere but especially) Asia : 7 times , even though global scale is double. China: increased 26 times during that time period. : top of consumption usa but only 4% of population ( big ratio) : china consumption is 10% but population is a lot more.
