Future energy consumption of the third world

The results of this study can be classified into two main areas. 1) A critique of previous global models designed to forecast future Third World energy demand, and presentation of the actual preconditions for forecasts of this type. 2) An attempt to illustrate those prognoses and trends concerning supply and demand of commercial primary energy in general and electricity (with special reference to nuclear power) individually, as the result of an analysis of 156 developing countries, so as to be able to draw a realistic picture about expected future development if not globally at least for individual countries.
