The challenge of global sustainability
A tremendous surge in world population growth-especially in developing countries-will create unprecedented societal, economic, and environmental pressures in the coming decades, calling into question the likelihood of sustainable development for the world at large. Robert Fri, president of Resources for the Future and chairman of the Institute`s Advisory Council, spoke on this issue at the Electricity Beyond 2000 forum, sponsored last October by EPRI and the International Electric Research Exchange. Fri points up the importance of technology and of investment by the industrialized world in resolving this dilemma, and he high-lights why the electric utility industry should have particular interest in becoming part of the solution.
