This article is about how the world's countries are finally getting a wake-up call. A major forecasting agency predicted that our current energy policy is not sustainable and that in 2030 global demand for electricity will have increased by 73 %. Our reliance on coal would grow by 44 %, half of that coming from china. They also said that no matter what the world is going to have to pay for cleaner energy, so we should do it now. If we continue how we are now there will be a dramatic effect on the global climate, temperatures will also rise dramatically. I think this article is ridiculous, scientists have been saying this for years; it's about time we're going to do something about our energy crisis. We should have started this years ago, now it will cost even more.
