“ #U.S. #oilconsumption per unit of #GDP is pretty much in the middle of the pack for wealthy countries. We use slightly less oil per dollar than #Spain and #Japan & far less than #Canada. #SouthKorea uses more than twice as much #oil per dollar of GDP than the US.” open.substack.com/pub/deanbake...

While we're talking about Things Sun ...
The Sun undergoes a proton-proton fusion cycle about 1038 (10 to the 38th) times per second.
Using the mass of a proton, multiplying by 2 (I think there are two involved in the chain, though Wikipedia's article suggests otherwise, see below), that's about 308 million tonnes of hydrogen fused per second.
(Wikipedia comes out with about double this, or 620 million tonnnes/s, I may have the number of protons wrong here...)
Humans consume about 104 million barrels of oil per day, which works out to 15 million tonnes, or about 175 tonnes per second.
Which means that on a mass basis, humans alone on Earth are burning through fuel at on the order of one millionth the rate of the Sun. One four-millionth if you're a stickler for accuracy, but I'm looking generally at order-of-magnitude here.
Mind that nuclear and chemical reactions differ tremendously in energy potential (that's why nuclear fission and fusion advocates are so gung-ho). But I still find it interesting that one species on Earth is even within six orders of magnitude of solar energy production in terms of fuel mass.

As India's domestic production of crude oil declines, its burgeoning demand will increasingly rely on imports to fulfill its energy needs, according to the IEA. This underscores the pivotal role India is poised to play in the global energy landscape, with implications for both domestic policies and international trade dynamics. #IEA #India #OilConsumption #EnergyDemand #GlobalTrade #EconomicGrowth #Commodities

The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that India will emerge as the primary driver of oil consumption growth by 2030. With the rapid expansion of India's economy, its demand for commodities, ranging from oil to iron ore, is set to escalate significantly. The IEA anticipates that diesel, particularly crucial in industry and agriculture, will contribute 500,000 barrels per day to India's overall projected growth. #IEA #India #OilConsumption #EnergyDemand #GlobalTrade #Commodities
