    • Showing that energy increases standard of living but with the negative externalities of climate change
    • Is GDP per capita still close to energy usage per capita (assignment)
    • Slope of the graph shows the energy intensity of economy. How much energy the use to increase GDP.
    • Hold 90 days of energy reserves for economy. IEA entry requirement

    • How old is data collection on energy? Specifically in Asia
    • Pie charts for two years, (build regional energy requirements slide). Looking at accounting energy. So, what counts as electricity and oil
    • Could I look at the effects of R and D on innovation?
    • Energy flows, energy needs to be moved between countries
    • US pushed to sell LNG to the EU, to be a more reliable source of energy. The over reliance on gas from Russia was evident (?)
    • Ask about IEA
    • moles of coal have huge molecular weight, compared to something like methane (natural gas)
