US: 5% of the world's population, 26% of oil use...
The
WorldWatch Insititute has just sent round the following factoids which cannot be repeated often enough, especially when considering who has benefitted the most from
past greenhouse emissions and would
benefit the most from
increased energy efficiency +
diversifying energy supplies by making greater use of
renewable energy.
With less than 5% of the world’s population, the United States is responsible for a large share of the world’s fossil fuel burden, accounting for 26% of global oil use, 25% of coal consumption + 27% of natural gas use.
