posts_gdocs: 17jqDNVdCSdYwAbOEEej4kY_7XuC1YvDHGidQ9qV2Z3Q

This table contains the GDocs posts. A lot of interesting data is the content column which is a json blob containing, among other things, the archieml as parsed json. For easy searching etc, a markdown copy of the content is available in the markdown column. If you want to query all posts (both wordpress and gdocs), use the posts_unified table or the posts_unified_with_content view.

 There are vast differences in energy consumption across the world. We see this in the map, which measures per capita energy use. The ratio between the US and India for example is around 12. This means that the average American consumes about the same amount of energy in one month as the average Indian consumes in an entire year. The average Brit consumes double that of the average Brazilian. For the very poorest countries in the world, energy consumption is so low that it hardly registers. Beyond the [burning of some solid fuels for cooking](https://ourworldindata.org/energy-poverty-air-pollution), people consume barely any energy at all. Increasing access to affordable energy in these countries is essential. <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-energy-use"/> This metric captures the amount of domestic energy used in each country. It doesn’t include the energy used to produce goods that we import from overseas. In a **[related article](http://ourworldindata.org/energy-offshoring)** we look at how energy use compares when we take this offshored production into account. In our **[Energy Data Explorer](http://ourworldindata.org/explorers/energy)** you can explore many more metrics on energy, including total consumption by country; the sources that this comes from; and data on electricity – one subset of total energy use. --- Global comparison: how much energy do people consume?
