ECON366 Lecture 11: Global Energy Supply - Nuclear Power
Document Summary
Econ 366 lecture 13 global energy supply. Countries involved: oecd, middle east, non-oecd europe and eurasia, But in the late 1990s a larger share of nuclear power was transferred from oecd to china and non- Oecd european countries: there are two reasons for the declined nuclear power use in oecd countries. Table analysis-table a: for new installed capacity, japan produced significant less than its potential capacity due to the earthquake catastrophe, france was highly dependent on the nuclear power for the electricity generation. Chart analysis: the total hydro power has increased over 107% from 1971 to 2011, and the greatest effort was made from china, the share of hydro power in oecd countries was decreased from 71. 9% to. 40. 7%, while increased from 2. 9 to 19. 6 in china: the hydro power is the secondary largest energy source in china (first energy production is coal), and it has 32 turbines the great capacity for the hydro power generation.
