I received this great infographic on Monday when I was in London for a CNBC/Harvard Business Review "Energy Opportunities" interview. So, after catching up on things over the past few days, I'm just now getting it up. It is really a great one, laying out where oil comes from, who's using it, what we're using it for, and the ever-important topic of... peak oil. Check it out

Here's one more fun infographic for the weekend, this one from Well Home, and energy audit provider. It shows the widespread support for energy efficiency around the world, as well as some other interesting facts. Improving energy efficiency is one of the top things we can do to combat global warming, save money, and improve our quality of life. Hope we steam forward on this at a faster and faster clip. Here's the infographic (CLICK TO ENLARGE)

We have featured a number of WellHome’s infographics on our site and, as a result, the folks there decided to ask us what matters we thought were most important at the moment and worth creating infographics about. I supplied them with my feedback and they’ve gone ahead and made an infographic on some of the topics I thought was hot and worthy of their time

This is a pretty shocking infographic I recently ran across. As you can see for yourself, if even a tiny percentage of the money spent on weight loss (or a number of other odd topics) were spent on clean energy, clean energy proponents would be ecstatic. I guess this shows us where our priorities are

Transportation is a leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions. Of course, automobiles and planes and our dependency on them are large reasons for that, especially here in the U.S. where transportation accounts for an even larger piece of our emissions pie compared to other countries.

Light rail is a great clean transit solution that could help many cities improve their quality of life. It is growing in popularity across the U.S., but is still probably unknown and unseen by many.

Data centers use a ton of energy, as the infographic below from ABB will show you. I shared a similar infographic on the data centers of the world's biggest websites a few weeks ago, which I think was quite interesting and eye-opening, but the infographic below gives us even more perspective and discusses some key recommendations for making data centers more efficient. Check it out if you are interested in this topic and how to improve the efficiency of these tremendous energy consumers

The cost of fuel is something on a lot of people's mind these days. And in these times, I think it's worth looking back and noticing who pushed for great fuel economy standards in cars, efficient and useful mass transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities that you can actually use, and the rapid development of electric vehicles. Do you know who's on your side
