33. The spreadsheet mainly exhibits continuing growth of US energy gluttony:
18% of world coal consumption in 1980, about 22% in recent years, during which time world coal consumption increased by about a third and US coal consumption by about 60%.

This, of course, is a symptom of the increasing rate at which the US squanders energy in order to support our major product, which is:



Our supposedly ever greater need for energy is nothing but our unwillingness to reorganize our economy to avoid ever increasing garbage production.
