The Global Night Sky
Energy is hard to visualize, but perhaps this image comes close.
Energy runs the world’s economies. It is essential an essential part of our lives. Energy supply and demand is both the result of existing policy -- and drives new policy.
Curbing demand growth and developing new, diverse, clean supplies of energy is the challenge before us.
Additional Notes:
Of course, this is just an indicator of ELECTRICITY demand, not all energy use.
This pieced-together image, makes it appear as if the entire globe is dark at once, which is obviously never the case.
This image is from 2000 – there is no more recent update that we are aware of at this time
Earth at Night (from NASA 11/27/00)
More detail from NASA is below:
The brightest areas of the Earth are the most urbanized, but not necessarily the most populated. (Compare western Europe with China and India.) Cities tend to grow along coastlines and transportation networks. Even without the underlying map, the outlines of many continents would still be visible. The United States interstate highway system appears as a lattice connecting the brighter dots of city centers. In Russia, the Trans-Siberian railroad is a thin line stretching from Moscow through the center of Asia to Vladivostok. The Nile River, from the Aswan Dam to the Mediterranean Sea, is another bright thread through an otherwise dark region.
Even more than 100 years after the invention of the electric light, some regions remain thinly populated and unlit. Antarctica is entirely dark. The interior jungles of Africa and South America are mostly dark, but lights are beginning to appear there. Deserts in Africa, Arabia, Australia, Mongolia, and the United States are poorly lit as well (except along the coast), along with the boreal forests of Canada and Russia, and the great mountains of the Himalaya. 2

Global Consumption: Fuel Breakout
The world relies on fossil energy.
Total World Energy Consumption, 2008
We rely on fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas--for 82.0% of our energy (83.1% in the United States). Natural gas burns much cleaner than other fossil fuels, and it will be an important in our energy future. Renewable sources (including hydropower) only account for 12.2% of our energy (8.2% in the United States). Without conventional hydro, renewables drop to 10.0% globally. We have a massive challenge before us if we want to realize a clean energy future.

Building energy codes and appliance standards
Cost-effective, energy-efficient building technologies and practices
Building envelopes
Equipment
Lighting, daylighting, windows
Cool roofs
Advanced sensors and controls 
Combined heating, cooling, and power
Whole building design
Build America’s research, development, and demonstration activities aim to produce cost-effective homes that use up to 70% less energy.
Available technologies could reduce projected energy use in buildings 41% by 2050, thereby avoiding approximately 40% (11.5 Gt ) of current fossil CO2 emissions. Source: IEA Scoreboard 2009: 35 Key Energy Trends over 35 Years. OECD/IEA.
Long-term DOE goals: For new construction, the ultimate residential goal is to produce homes on a community scale that use on average 40% to 100% less source energy. For commercial buildings, the goal is to achieve 50% to 70% whole building energy improvements, relative to ASHRAE Standard These are both long-term goals for BTP with a focus on achieving these energy savings in a cost-effective manner.
Investing in energy-efficient buildings yields:
Cost savings for homeowners and businesses;
Reductions in peak demand, providing the energy needed for a strong economy with fewer new power plants; and
Expeditious and sustained reductions in carbon dioxide emissions—with fast paybacks and positive economic returns.
Building efficiency can lower energy costs, reduce pollution, and provide greater energy security.
In 2006, lighting was 18% of primary energy consumption in buildings or 8.2 % of total primary energy consumption at 6.9 quads (2009 Buildings Data Book)
In addition to accelerating the pace of new final standards, the Obama Administration has significantly increased the enforcement of existing conservation standards.  For example, on March 29, 2010, the Department ordered that AeroSys, Inc. stop distributing an air conditioner and heat pump that independent testing showed were consuming more energy than allowed under federal efficiency standards.

“CO2 emissions in 2050 could be reduced to levels below what they are today by accelerating needed technology advances and enacting robust supporting policies.”
Technology Action Plan: Advanced Vehicles, prepared for the Major Economies Forum, December 2009.
Vehicles data from U.S. Department of Transportation, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, National Transportation Statistics 2010
Policy Steps Taken
May 21, 2010: EPA-DOT MOU created the first-ever National Policy to increase fuel efficiency and decrease greenhouse gas pollution from medium- and heavy-duty trucks for Model Years
April 1, 2010: Final CAFE Standards rule announced. Increased CAFE standard to 35.5 mpg for new cars and light-duty trucks manufactured in Model Years and sold in the United States;
This will save the nation 1.8 billion barrels of oil and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by nearly one billion metric tons -- equivalent to taking 50 million cars off the road -- over the lifetime of vehicles sold in Model Years
New standards for heavy-duty vehicles: EPA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are taking coordinated steps to enable the production of a new generation of clean vehicles, though reduced GHG emissions and improved fuel efficiency from on-road vehicles and engines. These next steps include developing first-ever GHG regulations for heavy-duty engines and vehicles, as well as further light-duty vehicle GHG regulations. These steps were outlined by President Obama in a memorandum on May 21, 2010.”
“the proposed Heavy-Duty National Program would apply to combination tractors (the semi trucks that typically pull trailers), heavy-duty pickup trucks and vans, and vocational vehicles (including buses and refuse or utility trucks). Together, these standards would cut greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 250 million metric tons and save about 500 million barrels of oil over the lifetime of the vehicles sold in model years
President Obama has set a goal of putting one million electric vehicles on the road by Although the goal is ambitious, key steps already taken and further steps proposed indicate the goal is achievable. Indeed, leading vehicle manufacturers already have plans for cumulative U.S. production capacity of more than 1.2 million electric vehicles by 2015, according to public announcements and news reports.
DOE’s Vehicle Technologies Program has
Established alternative fuel corridors
Spearheaded a Major Increase in Alternative Fuel Transit Buses
Developed world-class modeling tools that enable dynamic analysis of vehicle performance and efficiency to support detailed design, development, and validation of vehicle components and systems
