Answer 1

Historical perspectives on Energy consumption may be just what you are looking for.

For changing global patterns of energy consumption this site is great, although it does not show it over a time. I love this quote

'Next time you hear about a woman in India who has seven children, remember that she'd have to have more than 20 children to match the impact of an American woman with just one child'

Answer 2

Back in the 50's it was common for a house to have a 60 amp service.  I just watched an episode of This Old House where there was a 400 amp service.  Too bad they didn't use solar panels or a windmill to off set this excess.

Now we have whole Nations wanting to get on line.  I don't know if there a web site that shows power plant production on a world wide scale, but it would amaze all of us how many are being built.
