Interesting energy facts via NationMaster.com:
- Japan has 53 working nuclear reactors and is planning to build another 12.
- The top 10 countries for electricity generation using a nuclear energy source are all in Europe.
- The price of gasoline in Turkmenistan is only $US 0.03 per liter. This is cheaper than in any of the OPEC (Oil Producing) countries.
- Ukraine is number one in the world for per capita construction of nuclear reactors and nuclear waste generated.
- Russia produces more natural gas than the next six countries combined, and has over a quarter of the world’s proven gas reserves.
I recently found NationMaster.com and it provides a wealth of social and economic statistics about the countries of the world, all in a well-designed, uncluttered format.
