IEA Sees Peaks in Global Oil, Coal and Gas Demand by 2030: The world’s leading energy agency said this week in its World Energy Outlook report that global demand for oil, natural gas and coal will peak by 2030 as countries promote cleaner forms of energy and transportation. The International Energy Agency says that solar, wind and hydropower may supply about half of the world’s electricity by 2030, part of a shift that will help to slow climate change but is not enough to stop it, as Brad Plumer reports for The New York Times. “The transition to clean energy is happening worldwide and it’s unstoppable,” said Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency. “It’s not a question of ‘if,’ it’s just a matter of ‘how soon’—and the sooner the better for all of us.”
