"Global Energy Trends: The Supply/Demand, the Ttechnology and the Policy of Dimensions"
USA energy demand:
Petroleum: 40.1%
Natural gas: 22.6%
Coal: 22.9%
Nuclear: 8.1%
Renewable: 6.1%
-- in 2004: solar: 1%, wind 2%
Misalignment of supply and demand, leading to increasing import dependence and energy security
Criticism of US energy policies: low level of research in energy, esp. renewable energy resources; not done anything coherent in terms of energy laws.
Embraces biomass, nuclear power, biofuels, geothermal production (expensive), renewable energy resources (solar is expensive at current level of technology)
No panacea for current energy crises, only a vast variety of alternative resources applied together
