ENERGYCONSUMPTION:

The std of living of a given country can be directly related to per capita incomeofacountry.

POLICY IMPLICATION FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY:


Some industry critics claim we will never power civilization with renewable energy. Fact: Wind & solar are fastest-growing primary power sources, but are unlikely to grow from present ~ 1% of supply to 10% by 2025 and >30% by 2050 without major incentives, R & D and demonstration of enabling technologies. There are no known show-stoppers

The various forms of energy depend primarily on incoming solar radiation , which totals around 5.4 million EJ/year Around 30% is reflected back into space. The remaining 70% is in principle available for use on earth, and amounts to approximatly3.8 billions EJ , more than 10000 times more than the rate of consumption of fossil and nuclear fuels, some 370 EJ in 2002
