World energy consumption is expected to increase 40% to 50% by the year 2010, and the global mix of fuels--renewables (18%), nuclear (4%), and fossil (78%)--is projected to remain substantially the same as today; thus global carbon dioxide emissions would also increase 50% to 60%.
The United States spends approximately $440 billion annually for energy. The cost of energy for U.S. consumers is estimated at nearly $200 billion and for U.S. manufacturers, $100 billion annually.
