Future Economy & Energy
There is a theory that the world GDP will soon stop growing.
This will probably be a matter of debate for some time, however, I for one believe that we could. To be more specific, in an article published just a few days prior to the collapse of the Lehman Brothers, evidence was presented about an upcoming economic downfall, near the end of the first decade of the millennium. The analysis was based on a simple logistic growth fit against actual real GDP data.

In this case, we will not need much energy, at least, making it possible to preserve the nature and environment, since recent growth in GDP is parallel with an increase in an amount of energy consumed.
