WHAT ARE THE KEY FACTS?

Crude oil, natural gas and renewable energy production are expected to grow rapidly.

Net energy imports are expected to decline, as production grows faster than consumption.

EIA has just issued its Annual Energy Outlook 2013 (AEO2013) Reference case, which highlights a growth in total U.S. energy production that exceeds growth in total U.S. energy consumption through 2040.

"EIA's updated Reference case shows how evolving consumer preferences, improved technology and economic changes are pushing the nation toward more domestic energy production, greater vehicle efficiency, greater use of clean energy and reduced energy imports," said EIA Administrator Adam Sieminski.

"This combination has markedly reduced projected energy-related carbon dioxide emissions," said Mr. Sieminski.

AEO2013 offers a number of key findings, including:

Crude oil production, especially from tight oil plays, rises sharply over the next decade. Domestic oil production will rise to 7.5 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2019, up from less than 6 million bpd in 2011.

Motor gasoline consumption will be less than previously estimated. Compared with the last AEO, the AEO2013 shows lower gasoline use, reflecting the introduction of more stringent corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards. Growth in diesel fuel consumption will be moderated by the increased use of natural gas in heavy-duty vehicles.

The United States becomes a net exporter of natural gas earlier than estimated a year ago. Because quickly rising natural gas production outpaces domestic consumption, the United States will become a net exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in 2016 and a net exporter of total natural gas (including via pipelines) in 2020.

Renewable fuel use grows at a much faster rate than fossil fuel use. The share of electricity generation from renewables grows to 16 percent in 2040 from 13 percent in 2011.

Net imports of energy decline. The decline reflects increased domestic production of both petroleum and natural gas, increased use of biofuels, and lower demand resulting from the adoption of new vehicle fuel efficiency standards and rising energy prices. The net import share of total U.S. energy consumption falls to 9 percent in 2040 from 19 percent in 2011.

The AEO2013 Reference case focuses on the drivers that shape U.S. energy markets under the assumption that current laws and regulations remain generally unchanged throughout the projection period. The complete AEO2013, to be released in early 2013, will include many alternative cases in recognition of the uncertainty inherent in making projections about energy markets, which in part arises from assumptions about policies and other market drivers such as trends in prices and economic growth.





Despite conservatives rooting for the failure of America, progress is indomitable.

There is zero money being invested in fossil fuel energy production. It's all going to sustainable, permanent solutions. The fact that, either you just don't like that, or are not aware of it, is completely irrelevant. That’s still the way things are.

As energy demand is flat here, due to waste reduction efforts like higher CAFE standards, it's real progress.

Only conservatives expect sudden and complete solutions. Liberals go for progress. Relentlessly achieved.

You have an odd sense of "winning". I take it that you are the idiot that continues to fight is a burning building.

Surely you realize that those projections are basednon business as usual. EIA, CBO, and the like, make projections on the assumption that past behavior will continue. It is noteworthy that the IPCC presents multiple scenarios, only one of which is "business as usual".

It is also kind of odd how you pick and choose model projections, only using the ones you like and rejecting the ones you don't like.

Taking the IPCC scenarios along side EIA and other economic projections, it is obvious that the EIA projection will change because the IPCC projections make it an unsustainable scenario. All the EIA projection does is tell us which of the IPCC scenarios we are currently on.

With a little effort, we can use historic data to gauge the probability that public policy will continue on the current course or along one of the IPCC scenarios. That, though, is outside the realm of eithe the IPCC or EIA. Even the CBO doesn't tackle that question as they provide multiple economic scenarios.

Simply put, I do my best to keep errors of fact off the letters page; when one does run, a correction is published. Saying "there's no sign humans have caused climate change" is not stating an opinion, it's asserting a factual inaccuracy.
