Happy Monday! Welcome to another week of the ESC News Blog.
Did anyone
happen to read The Houston Chronicle on October 12, 2023, their article titled,
“Fossil fuel use likely to increase – A federal agency says existing global
policies, Third World dependence won’t cut energy emissions”? In the article, it goes on to speak about the
U. S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) last week announced fossil fuel
use isn’t expected to reduce by 2050 with current policies across the globe to
help stop the worst of climate change. Underdeveloped
nations are expected to increase fossil fuel use between 1% and 40% over the
next 30 years. This combined with Africa
and India’s expanding fossil fuel use which is expected to grow 2.9% and 3.4% respectively
will also not be helping climate change.
There is good news! The U.S. EIA is
estimating that renewables like solar and wind will increase usage between 75%
and 120% in the next 30 years, but renewables are only about half of the
equation. The article goes on to speak about how we need more technological
advances as well as more social policies change but will need the aid of
consumers, if it is going to happen! If you would like to read more of The
Houston Chronicle’s article, please click the link: Fossil fuel consumption likely to increase, U.S. agency warns (houstonchronicle.com).
