World Energy Use
For the past century, global energy growth
marched in lockstep with the economic growth.
Energy use increased 400 to accommodate a
doubling of world population and quadrupling of
Gross World Product.
The world now consumes the equivalent of 175
Million barrels of oil each day. Equal to
85,000 gallons of gasoline each second!
