Our Energy Consumption Profile

It is well know that the world is using more and more energy everyday. This is generally due to an increasing global population coupled with higher prosperity. This energy is produced mainly from oil, coal, and gas.

With oil being the biggest part of the current energy profile, any lack in production could be devastating. Unfortunately, oil reserves do not seem to be able to keep up with increasing demand and new oil discoveries are happening less often. This means our oil consumption will have to decrease soon, be it by being proactive and coming up with new sources for energy, or by sitting around and have the oil run out without a suitable replacement available.
