Global Energy Monitor

A global energy monitor is like a big map that keeps track of how the whole world is using and getting energy. It shows which countries are using the most energy and what kinds of energy they are using. It also tells us how much energy is left and if we need to make more energy. It's like a big watch that helps us keep track of time, but for energy!

Think of it like this: if you were trying to decide what to eat for dinner, you might look in the fridge and see what you have. A global energy monitor is like looking in the fridge of the whole world to see what kind of energy is available. It helps us make good choices about how we use energy so we don't run out.

Scientists and researchers use the global energy monitor to study energy and help governments and companies make decisions about how to use energy more efficiently. By using it, we can make sure that we have enough energy to power our homes, schools, and hospitals, while also protecting the planet.
