The world’s primary energy consumption by energy source and by country. There are many different sources of energy which can be grouped into renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. But what is their actual market share? And how much energy do we consume on a global scale?
Our primary energy sources include fossil fuels (oil, coal, natural gas), hydro, other renewables like wind, solar, biomass, geothermal and nuclear energy which is nonrenewable.
We will take a look at the primary energy consumption in the world by country and energy source in 2021. We will also take a look at the installed wind turbine capacity and the installed photovoltaic power.

Why did they add the stupid statement that nuclear produces deadly nuclear waste? All energy sources have waste streams. Why didn't they add that coal produces millions of tons of toxic, radioactive coal ash? And they show a bunch of drums laying all over the place. That is so far from reality it is defamatory. That is not how spent fuel is stored. Spent nuclear fuel is a solid material, it cannot leak. It is stored in dry casks that people can stand next to without getting much of a dose. In fact living near a coal plant will give a person a higher radioactive dose than living next to a nuclear power plant.
