The world will use 48 percent more energy by 2040, three-quarters of which will come from coal, oil or natural gas, according to projections made Thursday by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

The report states that most of the world’s new energy use will come from developing countries, particularly China and India, and most of the 75 percent of that energy will be coal, oil or natural gas. Only a relatively small percentage of the world’s energy will come from wind and solar power despite massive subsidies, contrary to the claims from environmental groups like The Sierra Club.

and Hydroelectric and biomass (i.e. wood burning) probably provides at least another 24%

Here’s where France did something right: 78 percent of their electricity is nuclear.

US is 13 percent nuclear.

“Green” policy is the biggest scam perpetrated on humankind. Lefties whine about wanting to redistribute wealth and income more. They’ve been doing it for decades through:

1. massive subsidies that fund one failed project after another
2. tax breaks that ironically end up helping more affluent people than not
3. undue regulatory and fiscal burden on legitimate energy-producing companies, which end up hurting consumers. Again, ironically enough, it’s regressive and impacts the poorest the most

Yeah, redistribution of wealth/income is already happening, lefties. It’s redistributing it from the people to the government. How do you like dem apples? All for some fantasy of conservation and renewability. You want to Occupy something? Occupy DC where the real criminals are.
