In all the furore surrounding the growing impact of renewable energies on global energy production, one figure stands out in this the next 25 years 's Energy & Environment : global energy consumption will grow by a third over year .This enormous figure is based on the demand momentum from emerging economies, particularly India . “The net result is that energy policies, as formulated today, lead to a slower increase in energy-related CO2 emissions, but not the full de-coupling from economic growth and the absolute decline in emissions necessary to meet the 2 °C target,” the IEA concludes. The country is forecast to become the world's biggest user of coal; the biggest source of demand growth for oil; account for 18 percent of the world's solar capacity, and by 2040 will almost match the USA in terms of gross energy consumption. These facts almost make USA the biggest single risk factor global carbon emission control over the coming decades .
