Geographic Distribution of Natural Resources for Energy Production Essa

Energy Distribution It is commonly known that natural resources are not distributed evenly around the world. As a result, energy is not distributed evenly around the world. In the present climate of the global economy, the distribution of energy presents conflicts between growing industry and already established industry. As a result, countries such as China, which are beginning to consume more resources, are turning to former methods of polluting natural resources such as coal because the resources they used to use are not as widely available. This is also taking place in other parts of the world. As the resources of crude oil deplete, oil companies are turning to new fuels such as ethanol without considering the side effects, similar to the way that China is blindly turning to coal without considering the pollution that is the result of coal. As a result of the rapid development and the sudden need for more energy in China, the production of energy in China is also different from that of the United States. Since China is a developing country, it has more of a chance to shift to alternate power sources more easily than the United States could; however, China needs rapid energy, and so it turned to coal rather than resources such as solar power or wind power. China is essentially at the stage that the United States was during the Industrial Revolution, whereas the United States has moved on to cleaner sources of energy such as petrol and oil. Another advantage that the United States has over developing nations is the use of alternate methods of power such as Nuclear Power Plants. Developing nations such as China do not have as easy an access to nuclear power due to the uncertainty as to the communist nature of the cou... ...op=793c8805q2fjrfq2fjgdloq5eddcmjmeeq22jeq3bjmbjq2aycfq5eyzcq2adyznjzoq2azjmbcq51q5eq2fq2ayfq7bsc0n>. â€Å"Coal power in China†.
