Energy
World energy use is projected to rise by 60% in the next twenty years. Most of the increase in consumption will be borne by developing countries which need to use energy in order to create new industry and build infrastructure. Natural gas consumption is expected to rise over 100% in the next twenty years, making it a prime commodity, but at the same time decreasing reliance on oil. In order to make sure there is enough energy to go around, we must work towards developing alternative methods of energy generation and promote conservation programs. Wind power is beginning to approach the cost-efficiency of oil and gas.
