Economic growth and energy consumption

Figure 2. Economic growth and energy consumption in Canada (1940-1970)... Figure 2. Economic growth and energy consumption in Canada (1940-1970)...
Figure 5 shows the result. If the historical relationship between economic growth and energy consumption continues and if the economic forecast is approximately correct, then by the year 2000 Canada will be consuming over 20 quadrillion Btu s compared with slightly over 5 quadrillion in 1970. This is less than one-third of United States consumption today. On a per capita basis, it would mean that for each of the 35 million Canadians assumed at that time, about 585 million Btu s would be consumed annually compared with about 250 million today. (Again the competent economists quoted earlier suggest that per capita consumption in the United States will reach 450 million Btu s as early as 1985.)... [Pg.224]

THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS OF ECONOMIC GROWTH AND INCREASING ENERGY CONSUMPTION... [Pg.367]

The concept of sustainability itself has evolved over recent years partly because sustainability is difficult to characterize and because environmental interactions are difficult to model quantitatively [2]. Consequently, viewpoints about sustainability are numerous and, unlike mature sciences, there are not yet established reliable modes of investigation or a uniform framework for dialogue. The key problem in the analysis of sustainability is to decouple the economic growth from the material and energy consumption and to integrate design in a broader manner in society [3]. We could also... [Pg.279]

The possibilities of new sources of energy, such as energy from hydrogen, may also some day become economical, and help to uncouple fossil fuel consumption from economic growth... [Pg.367]
