Common mistake
Misinterpreting Energy Resource Data
Students often confuse the total energy produced by different resources with the percentage share of each resource in the overall energy mix.
Focus on understanding what the data represents. Total energy produced is different from the proportion of each resource used. Pay attention to units and context in the data.
