B. su: Power resources Population forecasting Sustainable development sug: subj: Power resources Population forecasting Sustainable development ab: Standard of living is determined in part by the availability of ecological resources, and in part by the availability of “cheap energy.” The demise of cheap energy is likely to occur during the twenty-first century.
