1 Energy Summary: 1. World requires about 380-400 quads annually at present, (equivalent energy is 167 million barrels of oil /quad). 2. Bulk of world energy is derived from combustion of liquid, gaseous, and solid hydrocarbons... 3. Hydrocarbon supplies are peaking … 4. World requirements are increasing at a rapid pace… China grew 10.4% last QUARTER. 5. Alternative energy resources exist, but require ~20 years or more to develop fully, after wasting 30 years already... 6. What are future needs to become as human population grows?

2 Conversions: 1 KWH = 3.4123 10^-12 QUAD 1 KWH = 3,412.3 BTU 1 QUAD = 10^15 btu 1 BARREL OF Oil, 42 gallons yields 1700 KWH 1000 CU FT NATURAL GAS yields 300 KWH 1 TON OF COAL yields 6600 KWH An average home uses about 750 KWH each month = ~3 x 10^-8 quads ANNUALLY The USA uses about 100 quads per year total.

3 ENERGY RESOURCE AND USEAGE DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY POPULATION AND STANDARD OF LIVING...

13 Population is not always stable, nor increasing

14 THE FUTURE POPULATION WILL INCREASE FOR ~ 50 YEARS (EXTROPOLATIONS) REACHING TEN TO TWELVE BILLION (excepting pandemics, nuclear war) POPULATION INCREASE PUTS PRESSURE ON: ENERGY, AIR, WATER, SPACE, MATERIALS, ENVIRONMENT, EVERYTHING... POPULATION INCREASES CAN CAUSE MASS EXTINCTIONS… e.g. overfishing
