The Energy Future
Much of the course has looked back over the energy transitions. Let's spend a short lesson looking forward. Every year the department of energy (the energy information agency portion) releases the Annual Energy Outlook. These reports contain the latest energy statistics and projections. Take a look at this years Annual Energy Outlook Report (read pages 5 to 10 to get an overview of the changes and emerging issues in Energy and Environment). Also of note is the BP report the BP Statistical Review of World Energy See the one page overview on "2019 in a glance" (the 2020 report will be out in late 2021 with the Covid-19 impacts).
