In 2013 the Energy Information Administration (part of the US Dept. of Energy) projected that the world would consume 810 quadrillion BTUs (Quads) in 2040.
I disagreed. My rough calculations led me to the conclusion that the figure would be about 965 Quads in 2040.
As of this year, the EIA has changed its projection to 940 BTUs.
I’m really glad to be correct. I’m really worried about the fuel portfolio we will be using to deliver those Quads.
C’mon, solar! C’mon, nuclear!
