Trends in world energy consumption - implications for the North

March 16, 2012

What do the trends in energy consumption throughout the world mean for northern regions ?


The long term trend in North America is towards increased natural gas consumption. In the long run the arctic regions will be tapped to provide natural gas. In the short run though it is doubtful that either a pipeline to the lower 48 from Alaska or from the Beaufort Sea down the Mackenzie valley will be built.
