So there was big news today ... the Wall Street Journal reported that the International Energy Agency presented a paper to the G-20 meeting in Melbourne on global energy demand. The paper predicted that global energy demand will grow 50% in the next 25 years.
50% sounds like a huge number, but over a 25 year period it means it is only growing 1.63%/year. that number doesn't sound like it would be insurmountable to deal with. it is much less than the global economy is predicted to grow. couldn't a potential plan of conversation and new energy sources deal with this increase in demand???
