Oil Consumption
Jan. 10th, 2005 01:45 amAccording to Douglas-Westwood, India and China, the world's most populous countries, consume just over 10% of global oil production whereas the US and Europe together consume a hefty 51%! That's 5 times as much consumption with a population less than half of the two Asian powerhouses put together!
Obviously, the widespread poverty and non-industrialization of these sectors in both India and China are the main reasons why the numbers are skewed as such. One only wonders how and if the ecology will cope with inevitable future oil consumption surges in these two countries, while the rest discover viable renewable energies to replace our current dependence on oil.
