Energy Issues and Energy Priorities

Abstract Current examples of these priorities include reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving the energy efficiency, energy marketing, energy cost, energy planning and management, energy security, energy policy, energy strategy, and alternative energy usage. The demand for energy is increasing at a significant rate due to the exponential growth of world population. Advanced energy-efficiency technologies reduce the energy needed to provide energy services, thereby reducing environmental and national security costs of using energy and potentially increasing its reliability. Energy conservation is needed for improved energy efficiency, improved insulation and heat recovery, effective energy usage, process change and improvement, and good maintenance of machinery and equipment.
