Similarly, South America consumed more hydroelectric than North America, with a substantial difference of 23%.
Conversely, North America surpassed South America in terms of nuclear, coal, and natural gas consumption. While there was a marginal difference in the proportion of natural gas consumption (4%),the other two energies were opposite. North America consumed four times more coal (20%) than South America (5%). Interestingly, North America’s percentage of nuclear consumption was nine times higher than that of South America, with 9% and 1%, respectively.
