Japan is a major consumer of energy, ranking fifth in the world by primary energy use. As of 2022, the country imports 97% of its oil and is the largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) importer globally. In the post-war period, Japan's energy policy underwent significant transformation as it grappled with limited domestic energy resources. • • • • • In 1950, coal supplied half of Japan's energy needs, one-third, and oil the rest.

Solar power in New Zealand is a small but rapidly growing contributor to the country's electricity supply. In 2024, 601 gigawatt-hours of electricity was estimated to have been generated by grid-connected solar, 1. Retail buy-back rates for solar power exported to the grid range from 8 to 17 cents per kilowatt-hour, plus 15% if the system owner is GST-registered.

The lumen (symbol: lm) is the SI unit of luminous flux, which quantifies the perceived power of visible light emitted by a source. Luminous flux differs from power (radiant flux), which encompasses all electromagnetic waves emitted, including non-visible ones such as thermal radiation (infrared). Lighting used for are commonly labelled with their light output in lumens; in many jurisdictions, this.

Earth's energy budget depends on many factors, such as atmospheric aerosols, greenhouse gases, surface albedo, clouds, and land use patterns. When the incoming and outgoing energy fluxes are in balance, Earth is in radiative equilibrium and the climate system will be relatively stable. In simplest terms, Earth's energy budget is balanced when the incoming flow equals the outgoing flow. In spite of the enormous transfers of energy into and from the Earth, it maintains a relatively constant temperature because, as a whole, there is little net gain or loss: Earth emits via atmospheric and terrestrial radiation (shifted to longer electromagnetic wavelengths) to space.
