WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama reaffirmed his commitment to clean energy in his annual State of the Union at a time when a new report suggests that the United States will ease off its reliance on imported energy sources.
WASHINGTON — Worldwide energy consumption is expected to increase by 53 percent between 2008 and 2035, according to the International Energy Outlook 2011 released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
The report presents updated projects for world energy markets through 2035 and predicts that much of the increase will be driven by strong economic growth in developing nations, especially China and India.
