Energy use and economic output are interconnected. Wealthier countries typically have higher energy consumption per person, contributing to their higher GDP per capita. However, various factors such as economic structure, geography, lifestyle, and public policy also influence energy consumption.
President Biden authorized the release of 180 million barrels of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to lower gasoline prices amid the Russia-Ukraine War. While previous releases had modest effects, the magnitude of this release is significant. Estimates suggest a reduction of $0.15 to $0.38 per gallon at the pump.
Fracking transformed the world energy landscape by unlocking untapped oil and gas resources. It led to increased domestic production, reduced import dependence, and stimulated economic growth. However, concerns have been raised about its environmental and health impacts, and its contribution to carbon emissions.
