For those hoping for a quick transition to cleaner energy sources, the numbers are sobering. The world's energy consumption is projected to continue to rise at a rapid pace, increasing by 53 percent by 2035, with much of that growth coming from China and India, according to numbers released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Fossil fuels will continue to be, by far, the dominant source of that energy, supplying 78 percent of the world's energy in 2035, says the EIA.


EIA's important caveat: its projection "does not incorporate prospective legislation or policies that might affect energy markets."
