New York Times : The Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration issues an Annual Energy Outlook every March. A summary released yesterday predicts the price of natural gas and electricity will be low over the next quarter century, and crude oil will become more expensive but not radically so. And American carbon dioxide emissions will not set new records—they will stay below the rate of 2005 for the next 15 years because of economic forces. The New York Times‘s Matthew Wald, who cautions that the numbers should be treated only as informed guesses, discusses the possible impact on alternative energy options and biofuels.
