Document Summary

Predicted energy needs each energy goes up, but the percentage of the energy demand decreases. Coal available to use, but not burn cleanly(s,n,p), dangerous to mine(nuclear accidents) Oil easy to acquire, transport, good fuel, burn more cleanly, limited supply, uneven distribution. Natural gas burn more cleanly, easy transport when the infrastructure established regional energy consumption use the natural gas instead of the oil, also reduce the carbon releasing. Asia mostly used the coal as major energy coal >oil >natural gas(transport more harder and much expensive) Because the economy associated with the industry point source, can stick easily transportation is more difficult. Most oil using in canada is transportation higher percentage of using hydroelectricity. Stabilize needs the emissions to equal the ability of the earth"s absorption. Reduce ghg"s adequately and fine the replacement energy. Develop new technologies and systems of energy production.
