I am curious about world energy usage statistics. Does anyone know of any resources where I can find a list of countries along with a breakdown of each country's energy sources. I would like to find out what percentage is oil power, coal power, nuclear power, wind power, solar power, etc.
I cannot find a resource like that myself and am also looking for any ideas about how we could start one. I realize it would have to be a group project involving a lot of research and dynamic programming abilities.
Any ideas are appreciated!

DP,
Interesting you would choose this website to ask that question as reduced fuel consumption occurs as ridesharing happens.
Since you asked, one thing to keep in mind is what the data tells you. To look only at fuel/energy consumption by nation would not be a very meaningful bit of data in and of itself. A country like Morroco, which produces little, probably consumes a whole lot less energy than a country like Switzerland which does produce goods and services leveraging their energy expenditure.
Just a thought to consider.
