B. Rate of Utilization of Fossil Fuels 



The world is now in the midst of a tremendous 

 surge in the demand for energy. The worldwide 

 population boom, the rising standard of living in 

 many places, and the international growth of 

 industry all are contributing to a rapidly swelling 



appetite for energy. One recent projection esti- 

 mates that during the next 20 years the energy 

 demands of the free world are expected to grow 

 from the present daily need of 62 million barrels 

 of oil equivalent to 140 nulHon barrels per day of 

 oil equivalent.' Petroleum and natural gas are 

 expected to meet about two-thirds of this need, 

 requiring nearly two and one-half times as much 

 daily oil production in 1987 as at present.
