  • Picard102, on 10/27/2009, -3/+31I was deceived into thinking this info-graphic would be somewhat interesting.
  • Helicobacter, on 10/27/2009, -2/+22Another poorly represented infographic that defeats its purpose.
  • Ebams, on 10/27/2009, -3/+14I'll call you back when I can figure out if I want to figure out how to read this?
  • natefive, on 10/27/2009, -0/+6Awesome, generation and consumption in different units!
  • JamesBondQ, on 10/27/2009, -0/+3Boxes with numbers vs MORE boxes with numbers.
  • bewareofthecow, on 10/27/2009, -1/+3Can someone explain the difference between 'transport', 'roads' and 'inland navigation'? Because they all have their own categories with no statistics.
  • spirko, on 10/27/2009, -0/+2The "Conventional Thermal" sources have all been counted twice!
  • bewareofthecow, on 10/27/2009, -0/+2Good luck with that.

  • ripple123, on 10/27/2009, -2/+3wow. numbers. woo.
  • junkneo, on 10/27/2009, -1/+2Where do rest of the energy generated go?
  • Bobbyluigi, on 10/27/2009, -0/+1Can someone tell me why Germany on top of a ton of the lists?
  • Bobbyluigi, on 10/27/2009, -0/+1the conversion will show they produce an extra 428 Mtoe than they consume, which is roughly a thousand terrawatt hours of extra energy produced. (1 megawatt hour = roughly 0.22 toe)
  • DeathToaster, on 10/27/2009, -0/+1How?
  • masterstghm, on 10/27/2009, -2/+2I'm sick of these "infographics" either they're too hard to understand or they are uncalled for.
  • capyoda, on 10/27/2009, -2/+2the full graphic reads like the thumbnail...

  • daviscarter, on 10/28/2009, -0/+0Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished). And take the fed gas tax and put the entire amount toward research for alternative fuels sources. That way there would be funding for research for renewable energy, and rebates for folks who actually save the environment and use less gas.

  • WeaselMan69, on 10/27/2009, -2/+2A chart would've been better.

  • BillyB, on 10/27/2009, -6/+5We've still got a ton of work ahead - but at the least, it's being discussed.
  • samurHoHo, on 10/27/2009, -5/+0I think it good idea!
  • jackirock, on 10/27/2009, -7/+1i think everyone try to do this thing and try to save our hole world not only Europe :)
  • jp2535, on 10/27/2009, -9/+2Who cares? EU sucks, we could wipe them in 2 hours with our nukes. How much energy would that take / generate?
