Subject: [Bldg-sim] Grim projection of renewable energy use


Dear all,

The Annual Energy Outlook 2008 by the DOE EIA
(http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/aeo/trends.html) predicts that in 2030, 83% US
primary energy supply requirements would still be met by traditional fossil
fuels, compared to 85% in 2006. I find this in direct contrast with goals
set by initiatives like Architecture 2030... 

Does anybody know more about how realistic these predictions are and if
there are better opportunities for renewable energy?

Thanks,

Ramana Koti, LEED AP
