Describe how energy consumption has changed over time
It is increasing because the globe is becoming more developed therefore require more energy to power their supplies and products
What is the demand for energy in NEEs
Increasing
Patterns of energy trading will change
HICs generally have a larger energy consumption than LICs
Why is this gap only small
Despite the larger amount of products which all require energy, products specifically in HICs are becoming more and more energy efficient therefore use up less energy
