relationship between economic development and energy consumption. On one hand‚ growth of an economy‚ with its global competitiveness‚ depends on the availability of cost-effective and environmentally benign energy sources‚ and on the other hand‚ the level of economic development has been observed to be reliant on the energy demand. The electricity sector in India supplies the world’s 5th largest energy consumer‚ accounting for 4.0% of global energy consumption. The Energy policy of India is predominantly

Because of the vast growth of our economy‚ the consumptions and energy demands has been growing through time as well. The possible conclusion of this is all of the machines nowadays are powered by energy. In order to have a sufficient supply of energy

The various analyses show that there has been a continuous growth in generation and consumption of power in India. World electricity generation rose at an average annual rate of 3.7% from 1971 to 2004‚ greater than the 2.1% growth in total primary energy

With the implementation of telework in many companies‚ our gasoline consumption can be reduced by working from home several days a week; by eating out more often‚ we can reduce our energy consumption from not cooking every day; our heating/cooling energy consumption might increase due to working from home several days a week; our energy consumption for computer use may increase due to working from

The cause may be over-consumption‚ aging infrastructure‚ choke point disruption or bottlenecks at oil refineries and port facilities that restrict fuel supply. An emergency may emerge during unusually cold winters due to increased consumption of energy. Pipeline failures and other accidents may cause minor interruptions to energy supplies. A crisis could possibly emerge after infrastructure

It must be kept in mind that the city will expand and the population will continue to rise‚ therefore energy consumption will increase along with the populace.

Lessening Over-Reliance on Fossil Fuels The over-reliance on fossil fuels denotes to be a serious challenge in the United States. In 2006‚ President Bush used the term “addiction to oil” elucidating how the country heavily relies on fossil fuel as a source of energy (Sarica & Tyner‚ 2013). The world is becoming more competitive‚ and America is increasing its demand on fossil fuel. The precarious state of the fossil fuel in the markets abroad raises concerns.
