Sources of Increased Demand, 2010-2025
• Transport: More and more private cars• Industry: Continued growth, leveling off• Commercial: Office space, and modern
skyscrapers• Residential: Upscaling,
urbanization

Sources of Decreasing Demand, Far Future
• Saturation in transport and residential• Industry moving to high-tech• Efficiency• Switch to renewables• Environmental Kuznets effects?

China Energy Sources
Fun fact to ponder: 14 of 27 pp of the EIA country report are about oil and gas, even though those together comprise 23% of China’s energy use.

Sources of Oil Imports
Fun facts to remember:• China still produces most of its own oil, and is exploring offshore for more• China passed the U.S. as the worlds’ largest net importer in May of this year at 6.12 Mbb/d; this has as
much to do with decreases in US imports as as it does with increases in China’s

Electricity by Fuel Type
Fun fact to note: Wind power tripled from 2009 to 2011, but it didn’t stop the growth of coal power

Peak Coal in China Soon?
Something to think about: Implications for Northwest Coal Exports• Coal trains and traffic delays• Spilled coal • Coal dust near tracks• Few jobs created• Facilities may sit empty

In January 2000, a senior Chinese official in Kunming expressed to me what I believe to be a deeply rooted conviction in China: “We are sensitive to considerations of the environment and the importance of the conservation of nature, but we must have power; coal is dirty, water clean and abundant,a rich and unused resource; we have no alternative.” In all other sectors of China’s economy Maoism has been displaced by market principles,but not in the hydro-sector.

Sedimentation changes since 2003
• More is building up behind the dam (max depth 56m)
• Downstream reaches have changed from deposition to erosion
• The Yangtze delta has gone from expansion to contraction

Problems Caused by Energy Shortages in China
What are the Environmental Costs of More Dams?

Energy Solutions and their Problems
• Energy efficiency– Gains to be made– Requires incentives– Requires institution
building– In the absence of
technological breakthrough, will not be enough
• Oil – Short supply– Greenhouse gas– Air Pollution– No good alternative for
transportation• Coal
– Greenhouse gas– Air pollution
• Hydroelectric– Supply limited– Agriculture land and habitat loss
• Nuclear– Dangerous– No domestic fuel source
Energy Sources

What Needs to be Done?
• Develop long-term sustainable energy strategy, including incentives for clean and renewable sources
• Increase funding for environmental regulation• Develop price structure for resources that will
promote conservation• Make environmental protection a primary element
of cadre evaluations• Allow citizen groups to form and lobby for
environmental reform
