When you look at this chart one thing you may notice is that world population can link to everything. The more humans there are on this earth the more food and energy will be consumed becuase of humans wants and needs. For example, technology, although it may help create renewable resources it also can require more energy as we advance and invent new things. The economy is a big factor in how much energy people consume. As the economy starts to get better more energy is consumed, but as the economy decreases people start to conserve more and save due to financial problems. On the other hand while the economy is suffering, our government does not have enough money to pay for the renewable energy.

Climate is also another factor because it determines how you live and what type of transportation you use. If you were to live in Alaska you would need more heating and vehicles that could actually make it through snowy roads, also in colder climates people need to consume more food to keep warm. Opposed to someone who lives in a place like Hawaii who would use air conditioning to cool their house, and drive less heavy duty cars. The climate can also effect people activities on a hot sunny day more people are likely to be outside rather than inside the house watching tv.

Also, international relations have an effect on our energy source, and usage. For instance, almost all the oil we use comes from foreign countries. also, trade uses energy, like fueling ships and storing the goods. Also, wars are very energy consuming, from fueling vehicles to manufacturing for the war.
