- fundatus 2y agoEnergy consumption has been surprisingly stable in "the west" over the past decades. See the US for example: 2002: 2,256 MTOE 2012: 2,152 MTOE 2022: 2,182 MTOE (MTOE = Tonne of oil equivalent) Source: https://yearbook.enerdata.net/total-energy/world-consumption-statistics.html https://yearbook.enerdata.net/total-energy/world-consumption...
