Energy Usage
• Residential and commercial usage
30% of North American energy usage
mostly for air conditioning
refrigeration

Transportation Energy Use
In U.S.: government subsidies
Although rail & bus transport is twice as energy efficient
for highways & trucking
U.S. autos consume 15% of world oil supply
Transportation Energy Use
U.S. autos consume 15% of world oil supply
The automobiles of the rest of the world consume 7% of world’s oil
Public transportation is more energy efficient

Resources & Reserves
• Resource a naturally occurring substance which potentially can be extracted • Reserves - known deposits which can be extracted now with existing technology under present economic conditions
changes in reportingchanges in reporting
since 1989, reserves constant
new discoveries = consumption

When will we run out of oil?
• Geologists:
80% of current production from fields
discovered before 1973

Oil Use Issues
• Petrochemical industry is the major contributor to air pollution
Every gallon of gasoline burned
releases 20 lbs of CO2
Nitrogen oxides released
cause smog & acid rain
