Increased energy efficiency, nuclear energy and the growing contribution of renewable energy are not compensating for the globally increasing demand for power and transport, which is strongest in developing countries. Throughout the Kyoto Protocol period, industrialized countries have made efforts to change their energy sources mix.

If PHEVs became the major form of transportation, the use of fossil fuels would be cut dramatically. The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish.
