The IEO2003 report says: “Much of the increment in future energy demand... is projected to be for fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, and coal), because it is expected that fossil fuel prices will remain relatively low, and that the cost of generating energy from other fuels will not be competitive. ”
Raportis „IEO2003 ” nenditakse:„ Arvatavasti rahuldavad kasvavat energiavajadust tulevikus valdavalt fossiilsed kütused (nafta, maagaas ja kivisüsi), sest loodetavasti jäävad fossiilsete kütuste hinnad võrdlemisi madalaks, samas kui teistest kütustest saadav energia jääb tunduvalt kallimaks. ”
