BP Global/Reports and publications/2004 in review

BP Global/Reports and publications/2004 in review: "2004 was the second consecutive year of high growth in global energy markets
A buoyant world economy contributed to the strongest growth rate in global primary energy consumption since 1984. In 2004, consumption of all fuels grew at above 10-year average rates. This strength in turn pushed prices for oil, natural gas and coal to record (nominal) levels.
Energy developments
Primary energy consumption increased by 4.3% in 2004. The strongest rise was in Asia Pacific, up by 8.9%, while North America recorded the weakest growth at 1.6%. Coal remained the fastest growing fuel, rising 6.3% globally. Oil consumption grew by 3.4%, the most rapid rate since 1986. Natural gas use rose by 3.3%. Hydroelectric and nuclear generation also experienced strong growth, rising 5% and 4.4%, respectively."

Photo in the News: Naked Bikers Protest Car Culture

Photo in the News: Naked Bikers Protest Car Culture: "In London about a hundred activists rode past Big Ben, Piccadilly Circus, and Covent Garden. 'Oil is not a bare necessity but a crude obsession,' one banner read, according to press reports. Wearing little more than his opinions, one rider had had his back painted to read 'NO FUMES'—just above an arrow pointed cheekily downward."
