World energy demand is exploding and the U.S. is no longer driving consumption and price. For instance, the U.S. could double the fuel efficiencies in all its cars and the amount of world oil consumption would continue to rise, says Michael W. Wise, co-chair of the Energy Practice Group with McDonald Hopkins LLC.
“Advocates exist for coal, gas, nuclear, wind, solar and many other sources of power, but the reality is that we will need all these energy sources,” Wise says. “Every year has brought new technology, changing economics and dynamic opportunities. For example, Northeast Ohio is in the running to build the first offshore wind project in North America.”
