Coal surpassed wood in 1885. Oil surpassed coal in 1950. Natural gas would be number 2 today if not for political intervention.

Bryce shows the meager existence of those still stuck in the old ways: "The world's most impoverished people have no choice but to cook their food and heat their homes with fuels that have low energy density, such as straw, dung, twigs, wood and leaves. They are denuding the landscape of biomass in their struggle to survive. But in doing so, they are also contributing to deforestation and to the production of airborne soot." Using these outdated energy sources, "often results in the living areas being filled with a variety of noxious pollutants, including soot particles, carbon monoxide, benzene, formaldehyde, and even dioxin."

Bryce concludes, "More oil consumption among the world's energy poor would help save the lives of hundreds of thousands of impoverished people every year who die premature deaths because of indoor air pollution caused by burning biomass."
