Access to Energy Worldwide

Another way to visualize global access to energy, from The Economist: 

“Some 1.7 billion people gained access to electricity, and 1.6 billion to modern fuels for household cooking between 1990 and 2010. The world’s population increased by a similar amount, so the proportion of those who have access to modern energy sources rose.”
