|
[78th of 141]
|
DEFINITION: Ratio of premium gasoline price to world average
Units: Ratio of Gasoline Price to World Average
Units: Pump price for super gasoline (US$ per liter): Fuel prices refer to the pump prices of the most widely sold grade of gasoline. Prices have been converted from the local currency to U.S. dollars, and the ratio of the gas price to the world average in the same time period was used in order to normalize the data. For more information, see World Development Indicators, Table 3.12. |

Nuclear waste generated

-0.06 |
|
[7th of 45]
|
DEFINITION: Nuclear waste generated
Units: Standardized Scale (z-score)
Units: Two variables were initially available for Radioactive Waste: Accumulated Quantity (cubic meters) as generated and Accumulated Quantity (cubic meters) after treatment. We calculated the z-scores for the two variables, in order to make them comparable, and took whichever variable was available for each country. For the three countries (Australia, Canada and Czech Republic) which had both variables, we took the higher. |

Oil reserves
|
5,700,000,000 barrels |
|
[21st of 97]
|
|
DEFINITION: According to Web definitions the term refers to the total amount of petroleum (oil) discovered in any given oil field or nation. Thus it can be said that Kuwait has xxxx millions of barrels (mb) of oil in the ground. However, the exact amount can never be known, simply because of the difficulty in sensing or "seeing" beneath the surface of the Earth. The term Proven Reserve or PR refers to an amount of oil that is generally accepted by geologists to be the actual amount of petroleum in the ground. |
