A chart linking low energy consumption with poverty is widely shared on social media. The graphic uses a misleading visualization, and if we look at the data more objectively, it tells a very different story - one that highlights the potential of energy efficiency.

    Good analysis. Instead of blobs for one year, try also plotting energy use/capita vs income/capita (same axes) changing over time - you see how the curves bend.
