Introduction, Brief History, and Chosen Approach

ABSTRACT

Because Previous HitenergyNext Hit is essential to provide the basic needs of humanity, namely food, clean fresh water, fuel for transportation, the generation of electricity, and the production of heat, it is at the core of economic and social activity; and because Previous HitenergyNext Hit is consumed by people, estimates of the consumption of Previous HitenergyNext Hit during the 21st century need to be based on projections of the size, composition, and mode and amount of Previous HitenergyNext Hit use of the human population of the world. Estimates of the possible supply of Previous HitenergyNext Hit are based on the availability of the presently known sources: principally oil, natural gas, coal, and hydroelectric and nuclear power. The development of these estimates is the objective of this study. They support the conclusion that, although the global distribution of Previous HitenergyNext Hit sources is obviously uneven, during the 21st century, there will be sufficient sources to adequately satisfy the demand for Previous HitenergyTop of a human population whose growth rate shows signs of starting to level off.
