1. Does any of this surprise you? It doesn't surprise me!

It's where most of the earth's population is!

2. Some of it surprises me.

I thought there would be more action in Australia, Brazil. Also the way Russia is so spread out. I thought Eastern Russia would be really lit up.

5. Most Egyptians live along the Nile

With the Aswan Hydro damn controlling the floods and providing electricity, it's the place to live.

4. This map appears to imply something that is incorrect.

It compares apples to oranges.

Not every power source is viable everywhere. Iceland and Norway are blessed with options that the UK does not have access to for example. Far Northern countries will not get decent solar power and many will not get good reliable winds.
