Maps worth making

Isochromic world maps:

1. coal, oil, and natural gas: reserves. superimposed with population.
2. coal, oil, and natural gas: production. superimposed with population.
3. coal, oil, and natural gas: consumption. superimposed with population.

• Population in black, with a very small pixel spread.
• Fossil fuels in overlapping cyan, magenta and yellow (country-level resolution).

Some things this would help showcase:

• how much oil comes from war-torn countries (Russia, Ukraine, Middle East, etc)
• how much oil the USA consumes compared to other countries
• which countries still heavily use coal
• what motivates imports/exports (the difference between production and consumption maps)
• fuel usage, both per capita and in total
