    Since they’re rendered to look like spheres are the numbers proportional to the area of the circle, or the volume of the sphere?

    Where would all of that money or value go when/if humanity finally switched to renewables? Nature has cracked photosynthesis long ago. We should be able to do similarly sooner or later .

      Actually, our solar power plants are way more efficient than photosynthesis. We just need a lot more power than nature

      Pronounced “mall-ib(like rib)-den-umm”

      Used in steel production since it likes to form carbide when it gets all melty with iron and carbon.

      It’s one of those elements that you don’t really hear about unless you have a specific type of job or hobby set.

      I know of it because I make knives and swords, and it’s in some steel alloys I use. Some might know of it because it’s used in high pressure hydraulic tubes.

      But unless you deal with metallurgy, you have no real reason to know much about it.

      Really? Are you serious? It’s used for all sorts of things. None of which I can think of right now.

      It has its uses, but it’s not exactly something you run into while knowing IMO. I’ve heard of molybdenum disulfide, a type of dry lubricant.

    Nice graphics!

    Why calling the production value the total size of oil market and not production value in 2022?

    I’d measure the size of crude oil market in terms of total real trade volume in metric tonnes or monetary value instead.
