Mankind is growing

Never before have lived as many people on our planet as today. There are more then six billion people now, and their number will increase further.

On which scale it will increase, no one can say with certainty. If you take a look at the United Nations´ scenario of the least growth, you will see that there will be up to 9 billion people in 2050. This scenario would demand very drastic measures and therefore the actual population will be supposedly higher in reality.

Extrapolating this trend there will be 13 billion people in one hundred years. All those people have a right to meet their basic needs for food, housing, heating, education.

Therefore we need huge amounts of energy! Now more than 2 billion people have no access to electric power. Therefore they do not participate in energy consumption yet.
