[Saifi Khan]

Hi all:

Here is an interesting graphic on world map, that shows the pattern of consumption of the various natural resources.

. Coal

. Natural gas

An interesting way to visualize would be
. shortage of the resource
. trade agreements vis-a-vis embedded patents (cf. green US).
. technology innovation gaps
. sovereign bonds % holding

thanks
Saifi.
