摘要:Population growth is a key determinant of total
energy consumption, closely linked to rising demand
for housing, services, and travel. Energy consumption
per capita, controlling for population growth, shows
the combined effect of other factors, such as economic
growth and technology improvement. In the AEO-
2006 reference case, energy consumption per capita
grows faster than it has in recent history (Figure 31),
as a result of continued growth in disposable income.
