World Energy Outlook
November 12, 2009 | International Energy Agency

The International Energy Agency has released their “World Energy Outlook”. A few quotes….

“A continuation of current trends in energy use puts the world on track for a rise in temperature of up to 6°C and poses serious threats to global energy security.”

“As one of the consequences of the financial crisis, global energy use is set to fall this year… it will soon resume its upward trend if government policies don’t change… with demand increases by 40% between now and 2030.”

“Containing climate change is possible but will require a profound transformation of the energy sector.”

“Whatever climate policies are introduced, natural gas is set to continue to play a bridging role in meeting the world’s sustainable energy needs.”
