Fig. 3.1 Impact of electrical energy consumption (EEC) on human development index (HDI)
for all countries of the world: (A) Graph with selected countries shown and (B) HDI correlation
(in general, the HDI correlation might be an exponential rise to maximum (1), but based on the
current data it is a straight line in regular—logarithmic coordinates).
