EIA projects increases in global energy consumption and emissions through 2050

Green Car Congress

If current policy and technology trends continue, global energy consumption and energy-related carbon dioxide emissions will increase through 2050 as a result of population and economic growth. EIA projects electricity generation to almost double in developing non-OECD countries by 2050. —EIA Acting Administrator Stephen Nalley.
