Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: John Foster Title: Comment on "Balancing Energy Supply and Demand" Classification-JEL: F0 Pages: 29-32 Volume: Volume 2 Issue: Number 3 Year: 1981 Abstract: While a number of energy studies assume a national or regional perspective, just a few attempt a global approach, and these are typically concerned with the implications for industrialized nations. More-over, very few published studies look at the long-term global scene as far ahead as even the year 2000 (e.g., WAES and Exxon's World Energy Outlook), and only one to my knowledge extends its perspective to 2020 (Conservation Commission of the World Energy Conferences, 1977). So the long-awaited IIASA report, (as summarized here by Paul Basile), represents a landmark.
