Questions-

  1. I wanted to see who used the most electricity in the world.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I wanted to see how it was generated in Canada in a pie chart sort of thing so I could see how it is divided up.                                                                                                                                                    I wanted to see how much it costs not just in BC but in Canada
