The world's primary energy consumption of humanity

[Christophe]

I took over and made some "funny" calculations based on a Jancovici curve:

So here are the most appalling "points":

- Reduced to the "rich" terrestrial population (on a basis of 1 billion), this consumption represents: 13,34 kW. Each human in a rich country therefore consumed during 2004 the equivalent of a "virtual" boiler (but very real for the greenhouse effect and the depletion of resources, except nuclear and hydroelectricity) of 13,34, 24 kW operating 24/1,36 all year round and consuming XNUMXL of oil equivalent per hour

- Energy consumption is constantly increasing (exponential?) And one source does not replace another: coal consumption is 6 times higher in 2000 than in 1900 ...

- The surfaces (integration) of the different curves give an idea of ​​the absolute energy consumption, so we consumed about as much oil between 1980 and 2004 as between 1860 and 1980.

Voila ... It's cold in the back isn't it? Especially when we see the "possible" evolutions (2nd graph on this page): https://www.econologie.com/la-pollution- ... es-53.html
