World Vitals / Reserves, production, and consumption
Track fossil fuel reserves, production, trade, consumption, and emissions links.
Fossil fuel pages should make energy units, carbon units, and territorial versus consumption accounting explicit.
The primary charts now come from normalized database observations. Snapshot cards remain useful for latest values, but time series and paired relationships get chart types that match the question.
Database charts
These charts use normalized observations from the World Vitals database. Time-series charts show change; scatter plots show paired relationships where the data actually supports comparison.
World Bank
This share covers total energy use, so it is broader than electricity generation alone.

Oil rents as a share of GDP help connect fossil fuels to macroeconomic dependence.

Gas rents are tracked separately because gas markets and energy-security risk behave differently from oil.

The relationship uses total energy shares rather than electricity alone.
Each dot is one paired year. Hover or focus a dot for both values and the year it represents.
Metric snapshots
Snapshot and live-rate cards are kept separate from historical charts so they do not pretend to show a trend.
