Energy And Emissions

Developed and developing nations tend to differ by means of energy consumption for multiple reasons. For one, developed nations tend to utilize a large variety of energy production methods in their efforts to distribute it amongst all their citizens while developing ones generally don't. This is primarily because developing nations generally are not nearly wealthy enough, large enough, or technologically advanced enough to have the same option for energy production projects that their developed counterparts enjoy. Next, there is the fact that developed nations tend to construct the most state of the art and efficient generation methods for their large scale energy production projects, making it possible for them to provide energy for their large populations. Again the less developed nations of the world generally don't have the means to do such things. Thus, these countries tend to have far fewer varieties in the types of energy production they utilize, which is not to mention the fact that they also tend to be more reliant on less complex energy production methods such as biomass energy or coal. One final difference is that often today many developed nations have actually begun to narrow their means of energy production by the specific economic and environmental impact it is seen to have with regards to the future of our planet. Developing nations often simply utilize what is available to them and it is thus unlikely that these areas will contain any large scale dams or nuclear power planets that reduce greenhouse gas emissions when they find it much more practical to burn coal.

Compared to the more developed nations the U.S. tends to utilize more oil, coal, hydroelectric and nuclear power generation than other developed countries of its kind and slightly less than them in other areas. As is, this is likely due to the fact that all of these resources are highly available right within U.S. boundaries in the form of rivers for hydroelectric, mined fossil fuels for coal and oil, and developing technology/imports for nuclear power planets.
