Energy and Environmental Space This briefing is one of a series of summaries based on work in Friends of the Earth's publication Tomorrow's World. The book sets out quantified targets for what is needed to achieve sustainable development, based on two principles - that we should stay within environmental limits, and that everyone has a right to a share of the Earth's resources. Keeping to these principles will require the UK to cut its use of a wide range of resources. This briefing looks at our use of energy.

Energy Consumption and the Environment: Impacts and Options for Personal Transportation In 1973, petroleum shortages caused by the OPEC oil embargo launched the world's industrialized nations on a search for more efficient homes, factories, and transportation systems. After two decades of attempts to economize, energy use in the residential sector is about the same, industrial energy use is down, and transportation energy use is up. Today, we are more concerned with the other side of the coin - the environmental problems and long-term economic perils of unbridled energy consumption.
