How to Have More Energy: 7 Tips. This article was reviewed by Craig Primack, MD, FACP, FAAP, FOMA. Life can get incredibly busy, and keeping up often hinges on having enough energy.
One cause of energy poverty is lack of modern energy infrastructure like power plants, transmission lines, and underground pipelines to deliver energy resources such as natural gas. When infrastructure does make modern energy available, its cost may be out of reach for poorer households, so they avoid using it.
Power resource theory is a political theory proposing that variations among welfare states is largely attributable to differing distributions of power between economic classes.

Purchasing power parity is a way of adjusting exchange rate valuations to reflect the actual goods or services that can be purchased for a given amount of currency.
The MIT report calculated the world's total EGS resources to be over 13 YJ, of which over 0.2 YJ would be extractable, with the potential to increase this to over 2 YJ with technology improvements – sufficient to provide all the world's energy needs for several thousand years. [30] The total heat content of the Earth is 13,000,000 YJ. [29]
