Fatih Birol Quotes

• We are on the brink of a new energy order. Over the next few decades, our reserves of oil will start to run out and it is imperative that governments in both producing and consuming nations prepare now for that time. We should not cling to crude down to the last drop – we should leave oil before it leaves us. That means new approaches must be found soon..... The really important thing is that even though we are not yet running out of oil, we are running out of time.

China crecerá muy rápidamente, India también, e incluso las previsiones de Arabia Saudí de los 3 Mb/día no serán suficientes para satisfacer el aumento de la demanda china.
