Unlike many articles on this subject, it does not neglect the critical area of energy efficiency, and cites recent work by John Holdren, president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science: The most immediate gains could come simply by increasing energy efficiency. If efficiency gains in transportation, buildings, power transmission and other areas were doubled from the longstanding rate of 1 percent per year to 2 percent … that could hold the amount of new nonpolluting energy required by 2100 to the amount derived from fossil fuels in 2000 –a huge challenge, but not impossible. [...] […] The article is important and well worth reading in its entirety.
