cont ...Regarding oil consumption, following are countries which consume oil in order (top ten): United States(20,730,000 bbl/day), China(6,534,000 bbl/day), Japan(5,578,000 bbl/day), Germany (2,650,000 bbl/day), Russia(500,000 bbl/day), India(2,450,000 bbl/day - sixth position), Canada(2,294,000 bbl/day), South Korea(2,149,000 bbl/day), Brazil(2,100,000 bbl/day), France(1,970,000 bbl/day). If you see all the top ten oil consuming are building new nuclear reactors.
