(More) Written in 1990, this paper provides scenarios and forecasts for the world energy outlook to the year 2000. The factors affecting the world energy outlook include growing concern over environmental and ecological issues, geopolitics in the Middle East, OPEC’s market strategy, and the uncertainty surrounding non-OPEC oil supply. In the U.S. market, the major developments analyzed are growth in energy demand, rising imports, the shrinking of the natural-gas bubble of the 1980s, rising sentiments for an import fee and/or additional taxes on gasoline, and growing support for the use of more alternative fuels to be used in the energy mix. In addition, to demand/supply balance projections, the author discusses energy policy issues facing the U.S. government. (This paper by Cyrus H.
