           HDI (Human Development Index) by United Nations (UN); HDI is a comparative measure of life expectancy, literacy,
          education, and standards of living for countries worldwide. HDI is calculated by the following formula:
              p ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi
          HDI ¼ LEI EI II, where LEI, Life Expectancy Index, EI, Education Index, and II, Income Index. It is used to

          distinguish whether the country is a developed,a developing,or an underdeveloped country, and also to measure the
          impact of economic policies on quality of life.
         decreased from 24% to 11%; of gas—from 11% to 4%, and of wind power—from 7%
         to 4%. Usage of other sources for electricity generation almost has not changed.
            The United States have decreased usage of coal from 50% to 30%; increased
         usage of gas from 19% to 34% and renewables without hydro—from 3% to 7%.
         However, nuclear and hydro power have been left on the same level, that is, 20%
         and 7%, respectively, which is also a good trend (Fig. 3.3D).
