How have the demands for energy changed in the past few decades? What countries are responsible for most energy consumption?


It has dramatic increased causing increase in the making of it. The first country is India, China, and U.S.A.

Responding to the first question...
Energy consumption has gone up significantly in the past few decades and it is going to keep increasing very fast at the rate the U.S is consuming energy. The three countries that are responsible for the most energy consumption are the U.S, China, and India.

The demands for energy in the past few decades have increase rapidly and will keep increase in the future. The countries that are responsible fore most energy consumption are India, China, and America.

Scientists reconstruct past climate history by studying records from proxy. The records consist of ice cores, corals, and dendrology. These records help show the distinct changes throughout periods of different weather formations. It wasn’t until 1856 when sources of data became reliable. The natural environmental records going back to well before humans existed.
The scientists get their data from excavated obsidian and other artifacts. Carbon14 dating helps determine the age of the site. The dendrology includes trees and the counting of the rings to help tell them when the dry periods came. The corals determine the calcium rate when the pressure was high or low.

1. Energy has increased a lot over the last few decades. And the three top highest energy consuming countries are India, China and the U.S.

The energy consumption has gone up dramatically in the past few decades. And as the rate goes with all the energy and electricity being use by the united states it is for sure going to develope more.And the countries responsible are the U.S, chin and india, these are the top 3 ranked.

The demands for energy changed in the past few decades because the U.S. consumes the most energy. They use coal electricity gas and oil. There like the biggest consumers for all sources. The country that is most responsible for most energy consumption is the US its the 3rd most populated country but the most highest consumer.

To answer the first question, the demands for energy have highly increased as the years have gone by. The top ten countries responsible for most of the energy consumption are: U.S., China, Russia, Japan, Germany, India, Canada, France, the UK and Brazil. As the years have passed and the populations have increased, these demands for energy have shot up along with the populations. It has caused a great issue because now we are coming to conclusions that if we continue with these high demands, sooner or later we will reach the point where we would run out.

Energy demands have increased in the past decades. People is consuming energy every day more due to lots of cities in development. The top five countries that consume the most energy are: U.S., China, Russia, Japan, Germany. we have to learn how to use our energy properly because we dont want to run out of it.

Erika Cruz said...

Responding to the first question, the country to consumes the more enegry is obviously the United Staes. As years pas and new technologies and we get more advanced, it is more likely that the use of energy is required for this technology to be used.

The demand for energy has increased a ghastly amount, but is to be expected with the ever growing population. More people are driving cars and hopping on planes so naturally the demand on fossil fuels has increased and exuberant amount. The leading countries in energy demand are India, China, and the U.S.

Response to first question:
Over the past few decades, the demand for energy has increased at an alarming rate. Countries are demanding more and more energy everyday, and with technology advancing, it will only get worse.The top three countries who consume energy are: USA, China, and Russia. China and India together accounts for 40% of the world's energy consumption! With this they are predicted to rise and double, consuming more energy than they produce!

The demands for energy has increased over the years. In 1980, the average amount of energy consumed globally was over 283 quadrillion British thermal units. Five years later,the number increased to over 309 quadrillion British thermal units. As more energy is consumed, the more demand there is for energy to replenish the amount consumed. The top three countries responsible for the most energy consumed are the U.S., China, and Russia.

In response to the first question...
In the past few decades the demand for energy has rapidly increased. the top three countries that are responsible for the energy demand are: U.S.A, China and India. Not only has these numbers increased but they've increased but the gillions. That's a lot for a decade.

Valeriano Rios said...

Demands for energy has increased because people use electronics day and night. The countries most responsible for energy consumption
is India, China, U.S.A.

The United States is the third largest country and China being number one and India ranking second, but if we look at the way each of these countries use energy. The Unites States is the top ranking in energy consumption, while China is not even close.
It is amazing that these people who have the largest country can consume less energy than the country with the lowest population.

What technologies are available to allow fossil fuel use for energy without so many negative impacts on the environment?


Technologies such as wind turbines which use the wind in order to produce electricity. cole could be another use of energy without so many negative impact in our atmosphere. solar panels, would also be useful to conduce electricity without harming our environment.

Carlos Estrada said...

The demand for energy have increased over the past few decades. One of the most increased energy sources is coal. Mostly everyone uses coal for fuel.
Countries that are responsible for most energy consumption are China, India, and United States.

Carlos Estrada said...

CARLOS RUIZ SAID...........
The demand for energy has increased in heavily populated countries.
The United States is the leading energy-consuming country in the world despite that we are only 5% of the world's population. India and China are the leading countries in population, as well as energy consumption.

Since the year 1980, the amount of energy consumption has been growing from 283 quadrillion Btu's. The numbers increased steadily until the year 2003. The predictions after the year 2010 begin doubling in amount. For example, from the years 1995 to 2025, the amount doubled. The amount of energy consumption is beginning to pass up the amount of energy being produced.
The U.S. is only the third highest in population, but towers over all with the amount of their energy consumption. With 288 million people, they consume 97.4 quadrillion Btu's worth of energy. China is the second highest energy consumer following he U.S. with their 43.2 quadrillion Btu's. They lead in population with 1295 million people, but shockingly still do not amount to the U.S. The U.S. is consuming more energy than they produce and it is expected to increase by even larger numbers than they are now.

Energy consumption has increased greatly throughout the years. The growth in population has caused countries to consume more and more energy. The growth in energy consumption has caused sources to become scarce. The sources that were believed to last for a very long time are now in danger of not exsisting at all.
The country that is responsible for the highest energy consumption is the United States. Although the United States is only third highest in population, it consumes the most energy. The United States is not only the top consumer of one energy source, it is the top consumer of oil, coal and natural gas.

The demands for the energy have gone up really fast for the past few decades. The top countries are responsible for the most energy consumption are: US, China and India. And data and studies show that the demands for energy will continue to rise.

In the past few decades the demands for energy has increased dramastically. Most of it has to do with the industrial revolution. When the industrial revolution began most countries started to depended on fossil fuels which are coal, natura gas, and oil. Today the top users of this energy is the Usa, China, and India.
