: This bar graph is supposed to be a general overview of the world's ''rate'' of energy consumption. At the time of making it, 2018 was just the most recent year with detailed data available. Energy consumption changes every year, but not a whole lot. {{x|The long term trend is that it grows about 2%/year (except for recessions in 2008 and 2020) }} | : This bar graph is supposed to be a general overview of the world's ''rate'' of energy consumption.

Why put 'other' before 'electricity' in the bottom bar: | |||
: Because it makes it easier to visually see all of TES together. | : Because it makes it easier to visually see all of TES together. | ||
