Energy worldwide

Article Abstract:

The Energy Information Administration's 'International Energy Outlook 1999' report says that oil remains the world's main energy source through 2020. However, its consumption will decrease as more countries shift to natural gas and other types of fuel. Global coal consumption is expected to reach an average rate of 1.6% annually while the use of nuclear power will decline. The development of renewable energy sources will also be hindered by low fossil fuel prices.

Sitting on top of energy savings

Article Abstract:

The city of Park Hills,MO, saves about $8,100 annually on its energy bill because it harnessed the constancy of the water in an abandoned mine to provide the water for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system of its city hall. The system, which was designed by Lester and Buehler Inc. and Union Electric, consists of nine heat pumps with a cooling capacity of 41 tons, a 100-ft. well and a heat exchanger.
