View a geographical representation of world energy consumption

Gerardo Paz, a member on the Google Earth Community, has put together a geographical representation of energy consumption in 2004. Each of the countries shown has four polygons which show the comparisons between oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear and hydro-electric. It's very interesting to see which countries are taking the initiative to move towards greener energy and which still have ways to go.
